We discovered this recipe about a month ago and have made it at least once a week since then! It's a side that can go with practically anything, and it's even good as an afternoon snack by itself! The avocado dip is delicious, and we've also eaten the sweet potato fries with a bleu cheese dip, and that worked well too.! Highly recommend!!

Made these last night and they turned out great. Not crispy, but people said they liked them soft. Used a 400 degree oven and put the fries on non-stick Reynolds Wrap and shook the pans several times during the cooking time. I was pretty liberal with the olive oil and perhaps that with the non-stick foil and the shaking prevented any burning. The avocado dip was also a hit. I did not include the jalopeno and perhaps that was the reason the lime taste was initially overpowering. Added a second avocado and a few drops of Tabasco and that toned down the lime. I would recommend using maybe half the lime juice, then tasting the dip, then adding the rest as desired. By the way, give yourself plenty of time to cut the sweet potatoes! I saw Tyler Florence julienne a sweet potato by hand just last week and he made it look so easy! It took me ALOT longer as my hand isn't quite as strong as his. :-

Definitely leave the skin on, it makes it have a much more complex flavor! The mix of spices is divine. I didn't have chili powder so I used cayenne pepper, just don't use as much as you would with the chili powder. The fries didn't get crispy, but I put it under the broiler for a few minutes and they got a little bronzer which made them taste nice. The dip was GREAT, very cooling and fresh despite the jalepenos. I used lemon juice instead of lime juice and it turned out great.

This a great alternative to frying the white potato and I do not have as much guilt. One thing to be care of is the heat in your oven. I could not go the full 20 minutes in the bottom because they started to burn. I moved them to the broiler to finish.

Easy, quick to make and later rewarded with delicious flavors... the best sweet potato recipe so far that I've tried. And the sweet potatoes didn't get very crispy... probably because I didn't leave the skins on... but in the end I didn't really care- they tasted SOOO good :D I will definitely make these again!

The sweet potatoes were not necessarily crisp, but they were tasty and the avocado dip was a great accompaniment. I used chipotle chili powder and the smokiness it added was quite delicious with the sweet potatoes. I think the 20 minutes on the bottom of the oven was too long - I will switch the times next go around and do 10 minutes (or so on the bottom rack and then longer on the top rack. All in all, a great snack.

I used red yams instead of sweet potatoes. I thought they burned but it was just all the sugar caramalizing. These are the best fries I can remember ever tasting and the avacado dip really makes them so don't omit that part! Mine didn't crisp very well either but I also overcrowded the pan and figured that would happen. They still tasted amazing!

If you cook these exactly like the recipe says, they are crunchy, sweet, and spicy all at one time! I've tried other recipes and been disappointed, but I was definitely not disappointed this time. Thanks Ingrid!

I loves these fries. We eat sweet potatos all the time and it is always good to find new ways to make them, plus this recipe is healthy. The only problem I had was that the fries didn't really crisp up like I would have liked. Next time I think I will cook them on the middle or upper rack and maybe finish them off on broil. They still had great flavor.
