These fries were delicious! The hint of brown sugar brings out the sweetness of the potato. It gives it a nice sweet/salty combo. I increased the cooking time to crisp them up and that seemed to work. I also stirred the brown sugar mixture into the potatoes before putting them in the oven and I think that that helped them to be crispy because the sugar caramelized. Also, I think my oven runs a little hot so I may have been baking them at a hotter temperature. I just kept my eye on them to make sure they didn't burn.

Loved these sweet potatoe fries. Not crispy, but I don't think I've ever had crispy sweet potatoe fries. However, they were the best ones I've ever made. The small amount of sugar does the trick. I like anything Ina Garten makes. She's the best in my opinion!

I agree... they taste very good, but not crispy at all. I also tried turning the broiler on a few minutes at the end and cutting them thinner. Anyone know how to crisp them, please let me know!!
