    I agree with the other comments. Not crispy at all but very delicious. Paula Deen had a similar recipe cooked at 450 for only 20 minutes. We will try that next time. We used a hot spicy mayo but are going to try the other mayo because of all the good reviews. Love Giada and her show!!

    I made these tonight for dinner and they were a hit with son and father loved them....I had to make another batch...but I tried something different. I tossed the fries in olive oil mixed with nutmeg, cinammon and cloves. After removing them from the oven, I sprinkled chili, garlic, fresh basil sea salt over them. Again a big hit! I think you can do any type of seasoning with these that you want...just experiment. I haven't tried the mayo, but it sounds wonderful and will try it soon.

    I cut the potatoes a lot smaller than the recipe suggested and they were still mushy. I broiled them for a couple of minutes and that helped A LOT with the cruch factor. The basil adds such a great flavor to them. Will make again

    Very different. We just made this and even though they were mushy they were still delicious. We figured that if we cut them thinner they may turn out crispy. we will try that next time. Just like everyone else says the mayo is great and we are having hamburgers this week so can't wait to try the mayo with them. I did put extra garlic and lemon in the mayo than it called for and think that next time i will add maybe some smoked paprika to spice it up just a little. overall very good and since sweet potatoes are the best veggie for you it surely is a winner.

    If your fries are mushy...they aren't done baking! There is a fine line between mushy (undercooked, actually, crispy and burnt so watch them closely - just don't take them out too soon! These are a new favorite - garlic mayo was nice, but I'd like to find a bit more flavorful aioli.

    I followed this recipe to the letter, and my fries came out incredibly mushy, I even made sure I cut them exactly as directed....very disappointing, they were inedible. Some people here apparently don't think fries need to be crisp to be delicious, I thought the point of french fries was crunch? And the recipe described them as "crisp".

    The garlic mayo was good with the burger that sadly went fry-less.

    We love it!!!!!!!! The mayonnaise is so versatile we use it for everything. And the fries are so different and tasty is a dreamy combination...

    I served these fries with salmon burgers and instead of mayo on the burgers we used the garlic mayo on the salmon. It was a perfect pairing.

    The secret to the crispiness is cut the fries small (I did 1/4" to 1/2", zap the whole potatoe in the microwave first (I did 5 miinutes. I did 450 degrees. And for the dip Nancy's non-fat yogurt instead of mayonnaise. Excellent, healthy, tasty, and felt like I was eating real french fries.

    Even though the hubby is not a fan of sweet potato fries, with this combination of the garlic mayonnaise and the salt mix it turned out to be a hit with everyone in the family. Some of the fries turned out crispy and some turned out soft, but they were all very tasty. No more store bought fries in this house.
