Alright, who doesn’t love sweet potato fries?! These simple sweet potato fries are yet another sweet and salty combo, which basically means you really can’t go wrong. When you bake them in the oven they make your house smell all hearty with a hint of sweet. I can hardly wait for them to finish so we can gobble them up with our favorite sauces because they make great dippers, too.
We make our simple sweet potato fries in wedges, but you’ll see below that some turn out more like regular julienne fries due to hand cutting them, and that’s ok. You want to get them roughly the same size so they cook as evenly as possible, but really, we kind of prefer some a little more crispy and others on the softer side.
Some of our favorite dishes to enjoy our simple sweet potato fries with are our buttery dill fried halibut, baked chicken tenders, and lemon thyme chicken. Don’t you just want to dive in and start dipping? I love them dipped in Dijon or yellow mustard and ranch is pretty good too.
