I'm not a sweet potato fan, but my daughter loves them. This is the only recipe I have found that I enjoy. It's become a staple at my house.

This is a great recipe my kids love the Sweet Potatoes fries. I made two batches they were so good. This recipe was right up my alley for a southern girl like me.

My fries looked more like steak fries. I only turned them once in the middle and they stuck a little bit to the baking sheet, but still turned out scrumptious. I prefer my sweet potatoes more dessert-like, so these are right down my alley. I could eat these as a meal by themself. HIGHLY recommended.

I love this recipe. I just made it for my dad and husband. I add a little cayenne pepper to the recipe to spice it up. My problem is two fold, I don't have a good knife to cut into fry-like shapes so they have been round... (I guess no big deal and (2. It is hard for me to turn every ten minutes. Other than that I have made this twice and have loved it both times and so did my family tonight.
Thanks Neelys!!!

kids liked the flavor, but unfortunately they were not crunchy, more like a vegetable side dish

I have tried to make CRISPY Sweet Potato Fries for a long time now. Each time I try something different and each time they come out soggy. This is the ticket. The only thing I did different is I parboiled the slices (which I cut about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick for about 5 minutes, drained, then added to the oil mixture. (I parboiled them from another recipe I saw just to see if it would make them crispier. I also added some cayenne pepper to the brown sugar and salt mixture to get a little zing. I did cook them at 425 for the first 10 minutes, flipped them over for another 10 turning up the heat to 450. After the 2nd 10 minutes - I left them in for about 4-5 minutes, turned the oven off and took them out about 4-5 minutes later to let them sit for a few minutes. They were crunchy on the outside and had great flavor. The best we have ever had! I made a dip of Light mayo (maybe 1/4 cup and added a little lemon juice (1 tsp. or so, paprika, garlic salt, Lawry's and cayenne to taste (1/8 tsp or so of each. My daughters loved my old sweet potato fries - cannot wait until they try these. As another reviewer said, you must flip them every 10 minutes so they do not burn. Wish I could figure out how to keep them hot and crunchy so I could bring them as an appetizer to a party. They would be a hit.

The flavor was good. Sweet and savory. My husband, however, is a big "texture fan" and they were just a bit too limp. Did cut back on the EVOO and the flaver was PERFECT!
