Ingredients
2 large sweet potatoes (about 1.5 lbs)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sour cream
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel sweet potatoes and cut into 1/4-inch thick sticks. Place in a large bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, cornstarch, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Pour over sweet potatoes and toss to coat evenly.
Arrange fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching.
Bake for 15 minutes, then flip fries and bake for another 10-15 minutes until golden and crispy.
While fries bake, prepare dipping sauce: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, ketchup, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, and cayenne (if using). Stir until smooth.
Serve fries hot with dipping sauce on the side.
Tips
For extra crispiness, soak cut fries in cold water for 30 minutes, then dry thoroughly before tossing with oil.
Store leftover fries in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven to restore crispness.
