The SECRET to Crispy Baked Sweet Potato Fries | Say Goodbye to Limp & Soggy Fries

[@briancole1950]

Years ago on a hot summer afternoon, my ex's father and myself popped into this bar we had never been to before. We both ordered a burger with sweet potato fries. The food was excellent and this video got me remembering that day. Thank you for that!!

A trick to shorten the time they take and soften them is to boil them until a fork can easily go in, season them and then bake them (as the video says), this allows to crispen them more evenly and have a soft inside.

Gracias Albert. Sweet potato fries are muy grande in our house (never deep fry them but rarely bake them either--skillet fry usually), and I look forward to trying this Spanish version with some black bean burgers or maybe just some Manchego, olive oil, and a salad.

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.

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

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

[@Encourager-Purpose-Destiny]

Thank You for sharing!

[@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 😂..

[@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?

It'll work great. Set your air fryer to 400 degrees and check it after 10 minutes, then again every minute. Don't overcrowd them in the basket. See how they're spread out on the baking pan in this video? You need the air to circulate around each piece.

heat from both sides - up and down of the oven

[@bereantrb]

Followed recipe exactly, baked until they were nicely browned/charred but they still weren’t crispy. I may need to lower the temp and bake them longer? Still searching. Seasonings were good though.

Every oven heats differently, so you might need to adjust the temp and cooking times :) 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
