Sweet potato fries offer a unique blend of sweet and savory flavors, enhanced by the cooking method and seasonings.
The dominant flavor is the inherent sweetness of the sweet potato, which is amplified during cooking, especially when roasted or baked. This sweetness is often balanced with savory seasonings like salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or even chili powder. The texture also contributes to the flavor profile, with a crispy exterior and a soft, slightly creamy interior. Dips such as mayonnaise, ketchup, aioli, or spicy sauces can further enhance the flavor experience.

Even Cutting
Cut the sweet potatoes into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking.
Starch Removal
Soaking the cut sweet potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking helps remove excess starch, resulting in crispier fries.
Proper Oil Temperature
If frying, maintain the oil temperature at the correct level to prevent soggy fries. If baking, use a high heat for caramelization.
Don't overcrowd
When cooking in the oven or the air fryer, ensure that the fries are not overcrowded. This ensures even cooking and maximises crispiness
