Ingredients

  • 5 sweet potatoes, cut into about 1 by 5-inch "fries"
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Place the sweet potato "fries" on a foil-lined baking sheet and toss with the olive oil. Bake until golden, about 45 minutes.

Meanwhile combine the basil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. In another small bowl combine the mayonnaise, garlic, and lemon juice, and stir to combine.

When the sweet potato fries come out of the oven, sprinkle with the basil salt. Serve with the garlic mayonnaise alongside for dipping.

    I read other comments about them coming out soggy and to use less oil. I cut my potatoes fairly thin and put them on a pan and sprayed a little olive oil on them. It didn't help...they were soggy and I particularly did not care for the mayo dip whatsoever. I ate a few with a fork and threw away the rest. Definitely would not make again.

    These are so amazing! My family loved them! The garlic mayonnaise is really good too, and goes really well with the fries. I was surprised because my brother hates mayo but he loved it with the fries. Will make again !!

    These fries tasted amazing especially with the mayo. My only complaint is that they were not crispy at all ... pretty soggy actually ... but again ... they tasted amazing!
