This recipe absolutely nails the myth that you must deep fry for super-crispy texture. I've tried this on both sweet and regular potatoes and the results are amazing. Thank you so much.

[@SpainonaFork]

Yes!! Much love :)

This is the second time im making these sweet potato fries. THEY ARE AMAZING. When i eat sweet potato fries in restaurants or from the grocery store they are very weird tasting and soggy, but these sweet potato fries are extremly delicious and crispy. Instead of the saffron mayo aioli , I use sriracha mayo! Also extremly delicious

I’ll just up this for sweet potato wedges.. imma Reason able cook but getting crispy sweet potato wedges is difficult.. or has been., I do the whole “ice thing” With normal potatoes but did not know sweet potato was so high in starch., so I’ll give this a whirl., Thk u for posting !

[@SpainonaFork]

Hope you enjoy! Much love :)

[@BCSJRR]

I've made this 3 times. I don't have simultaneous broil & bake capability so I use convection at 400F, then finish with 425F while keeping an eagle eye on them. I also tried this putting them on a cookie rack in my baking pan instead of the parchment paper. That time they cooked much faster than I was expecting and some of them were ultra crispy shall we say. The last time they came out really well, crispy outside with a creamy center. They are seriously sweet thought. I need to limit my eating or face heart burn. This is a much superior way to any other method I've tried to make sweet potato fries without deep fat involved. Muchas gracias.

[@SpainonaFork]

So happy to hear that! Much love :)

[@lorenajb4111]

So would you say that it is better to bake them on a rack? Also for how long did you baked them on the rack? thanks in advance.

[@BCSJRR]

@@lorenajb4111 I would say the cookie rack sitting in a low side baking pan in combination with convection works better than sitting on kitchen parchment. Sorry, it's been too long and I don't remember the cooking times.

[@lorenajb4111]

@@BCSJRR definitely it's better. I made them yesterday and they were a hit with my kids, I would say it took around 30 minutes. Thanks for replying.

[@bereantrb]

I appreciate the tips. Following the video recipe with a standard oven didn’t yield crispy and leaving them in longer as he suggests would’ve burned them. I was thinking lower/longer & maybe using the rack. Nice to know that could work. And good tip with the higher temp finish.

[@SpainonaFork]

[@numbtomotion]

Avoid rinsing the potatoes, as completely removing all the moisture is nearly impossible and will result in them turning excessively soggy, thus negating the original purpose you had in mind. Instead, retain the starch on them, and you'll appreciate it later because it will yield a much crisper outcome. I don't care what anyone says this is the true way.

[@oliviaeff4154]

How many times can you say sweet potatoes?!? ❤️

[@martinba6295]

Hi mine got burned in the first 25 minutes (220 Celsius) any advice?

[@MJ-qt4dm]

You're dipped fry bent when you stuck it in the mayo (bent not broken) so just how crispy were they? You'll get better resultsif you leavethemrest for 10 minutes, brush lightly with oil amd reinsert in oven for another 10 minutes.

[@godsowndrunk1118]

If soaking in water removers starch, does that also reduce carbs?

[@TherapyKutz]

Theoretically

[@wgreene011]

Followed the directions and I dont have a top and bottom heat oven. i just did 425F for 30 minutes and the bottom layer was burnt and it turned out a soggy mess. Flipped them (To the best of my ability) for 10 more minutes i allowed it to bake and each fry was soggy as hell.. before all of this I hand dried them after soaking(30 minutes) and rinsing then allowed to set and airdry for 10 minutes. Maybe it was overcooked?

[@carolynapappas]

Could I use a baking tray fitted with a rack? I wonder if this would allow me to cook them without having to flip.

[@SpainonaFork]

It should! Much love :)

[@andreafrank336]

How is cornstarch different from the starch already on the potatoes?

[@scottbrown6248]

From what I've gathered removing the starch from the potatoes helps make the inside of the fries soft and fluffy, then adding cornstarch to the outside afterwards gives them a nice and crispy exterior Sorry I'm about a year late

[@chris210352]

Hi Albert! Great video as always! My husband loves sweet potato fries but he reacts to corn and corn products. Could I use tapioca starch instead? I suppose I should just try it and perhaps come back to post the result! 😊

tapioca starch should do the trick! let me know if you try it :) much love

[@chris210352]

@@SpainonaFork I will, thank you! 👍

[@akah679]

Didn’t work for me, ended up not crunchy at all 😭 Used a regular top and bot setting, 220c. Also regular olive oil. 25min from one side, 15 from the other. Maybe I cut them too thick? The recipe with a peanut oil gave much more crunchiness but that time I also cut them too thin. Can’t find this gold middle 😂..

[@ronpizur2627]

I had such high hopes for this recipe, but I just couldn't pull it off (literally). How do you stop the fries from sticking to the parchment paper?
