Scrumptious Sweet Potato Sticks
Scrumptious Sweet Potato Sticks
You can cut these steak fry size or quarter small sweet potatoes. Since my husband ensures that I have every kitchen gadget known to man, I have a commercial strength french fry cutter. Cutting sweet potatoes down to regular french fry size is very tasty. The large cut is perfect. When you get it just right, they are crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Yummy!

I cannot wait to make these! I follow a low glycemic eating plan (most times:) therefor sweet potatoes are my choice. I just bake them (except last week fried steaming for a change…too wet). I love sweet potato fries by try not to fry so only have them occasionally at a restaurant if they are offered. I think this is going to be my new favorite way to prepare them! Love your recipes :)
These were delicious! I thought they’d be more crispy, perhaps a higher oven temp. Note to self…invest in the French Fry Cutter, less painful than the slit at the end of thumb =P from cutting crooked sweet potato…with just sharpened knife :)
I had some in a restaurant a few weeks ago that were deep fried. I’m thinking about giving that a try -they were super crispy outside and soft and yummy inside.
I have a TON of sweet potatoes from our CSA, and we love them as fries. Today’s my “putting up” day… How well do these freeze and what might be the re-baking instructions?
They freeze great. You might want to put them in some lemon water just to keep them from browning.
Don’t bake them until they’re all the way done – bake them until they’re nearly done. Pull them out of the oven, let them cool, then bag to freeze.
No need to thaw before baking again. To re-bake, heat oven to 400 degrees and bake until done. The time would depend on the thickness of the fries, but I’d guess about 20 minutes – maybe 10 minutes, then turn them over, and 10 minutes more.
