Homemade Sweet Potato French Fries
https://easyhomemaderecipes.caSome would say that Homemade Sweet Potato Fries are even better than regular fries. Take your shoe string potatoes up a notch by using sweet potatoes instead of white potatoes. The best part is that if you have kids, they will love these fries too!French fries go perfectly with burgers for summer or with my Fall of the Bone Barbecue Pork Ribs made in the oven, my Roasted Chicken with Stuffing, or my Dry Rub Roasted Chicken Wings.
Ingredients
- 15 oz Sweet Potatoes 3 sweet potatoes
- 2 tsp Potato Starch
- 1 tsp salt

Notes
Top tip
You don't need to soak your fries to get a perfect sweet potato fry. Skip the soaking, save time and get right to the chopping. Save seasoning until your fries are cooked and out of the oven. Salting your fries will make them sweat during the cooking process and create more moisture resulting in the potato not getting as crispy. Leave your seasoning until they are out of the oven so that they don't burn during the cooking process.Nutrition
