Here’s a homemade variation of a popular restaurant dish: sweet potato fries! Though restaurant style fries are usually fried, this version is baked. We also coat them in cinnamon sugar and serve with vanilla icing dip. (Something I once enjoyed at a brewery in Baltimore—the treat is shockingly irresistible!) French fries for dessert, anyone?
Tell Me About these Cinnamon Sugar Sweet Potato Fries
Texture: Crunchy and crispy, and sometimes you get a little softer bite. (Sweet potatoes are packed with moisture.) Flavor: Sweet cinnamon and sugary taste—a little bit like sweet potato pie. Ease: Prepping the potatoes (washing, peeling, slicing) is the heaviest lifting here. Vegetables almost always take a bit of prep work. After that it’s pretty simple—coating, baking, and mixing up the dip. Time: Set aside a little more than 1 hour for this treat. The fries take over 30 minutes to bake, plus tack on another 30 minutes for the fries to crisp up in the cooling oven.
