What type of sweet potato is best for fries?

Sweet potatoes come in an orange flesh and cream flesh varieties. I prefer to use the lighter flesh ones as the orange tend to have a higher water content so they don’t crisp up as nicely.

Can I use russet potatoes instead of sweet potatoes?

You can make this recipe with russet or Yukon Gold potatoes. Par-boil them for 10 minutes first though or they will still be a little raw in the middle.

Can I make these sweet potato fries in the air fryer?

You can make these in the air fryer, but for best results you will need to cook them in a single layer so they crisp up all over. Cook them at 400F for around 20 minutes til crispy and tender.

Serving Suggestions

These garlic parmesan sweet potato fries are delicious served up with my honey tahini dip, or serve them as a side with favorite recipes like…

Tips!

  • Cook the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet. If they overlap they won’t cook evenly. Flip them during cooking.
  • Make sure that the sweet potato fries are well coated with the oil and seasonings.
  • Make them gluten-free by using a 1:1 GF flour.

These sweet potato fries come out so good guys! It’s an easy to add some delicious flavors to your plate.

Are these sweet potato fries crispy?

Sweet potato fries don’t crisp up as well as potato fries, but because we add flour to the coating they do have a nice crunch to them.
