Ingredients
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for lightly coating
- 6 large sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced like steak fries
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/4 packet taco seasoning mix
Directions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
In a large mixing bowl, drizzle oil over the potatoes and toss to coat. Add salt and taco seasoning mix and toss. Place sweet potato fries in one even layer onto a baking sheet. Keep space between them so they get crispy on all sides. Bake in batches.
Place into the oven for 10 minutes, then flip them over. Place back in for 10 more minutes. They should be soft on the inside and browned on the outside. Let them cool for 5 minutes before serving.
* You may substitute baking potatoes for sweet potatoes. However, when placing back into the oven change cooking time to 5 minutes instead of 10.

I didn't peel the potatoes, as the nutrients lay just under the skin. Used lemon pepper seasoning and a bit of Old Bay. Delicious! Will make again using other spices.

I used Montreal seasoning in place of the taco seasoning, which turned out very well. Like many of the other reviewers, these ended up very soft and not at all crispy. I baked for an extra 10 minutes, which browned them a little bit, but didn't help the crispiness.

I read the reviews of all the sweet potato fry recipes and thought I would try to solve the sogginess problem, but no dice. I microwaved the potatoes for a few minutes first so they were easy to slice. I sprayed with high-heat PAM to save some calories and coated generously with sea salt. I baked on a large pizza pan (the kind with holes in the bottom and turned once while cooking. They did brown nicely and tasted great but still a bit soggy. Will definitely make again.
