Taco Spiced Sweet Potato Fries Recipes

SPICY SWEET POTATO FRIES

Steps:

• Toss 2 pounds sweet potatoes (cut into wedges) with 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons each brown sugar and salt, 1/4 teaspoon each cumin and chili powder, and a pinch of cayenne. Roast cut-side down on a baking sheet in a 425 oven until crisp, 30 minutes, turning once.

MEXICAN SWEET POTATO FRIES

Steps:

• Wash, peel and cut up potatoes into fries or cubes.
• Toss with oil then with taco seasonings.
• Add to slightly greased pan and bake in 425°F oven 10 minutes, turn, 10 more minutes.
• These will likely come out better (and not need to be turned) if you place a cooling rack on/in the cookie sheet and then place the fries on the rack. The air gets right around the fries. (Tip learned from Rachael Ray).

• Bake for 30 minutes, or until crispy and brown on one side. Turn the fries over using a spatula, and cook for another 30 minutes, or until they are all crispy on the outside and tender inside. Thinner fries may not take as long.
