Tips for Perfect Sweet Potato Fries
- You can deep fry your sweet potato fries, but for this recipe I actually prefer to bake them to keep them a little healthier..
- To make sure the fries turn out extra crispy, cut the sweet potatoes into long sticks that are even in size.
- Toss the potato sticks in vegetable oil in a large bag to get them coated evenly.
- You’ll want your oven nice and hot (at least 400 degrees) when you bake them.
- Make sure to toss the sweet potatoes around frequently so they don’t burn on one side.
- After they’re done to the crispness you like, sprinkle the fries with kosher salt.
Suggestions for Chipotle Lime Dip
This sweet potato fries dip is my absolute favorite! And it’s really easy to throw together!
- For extra heat, add a few shakes of cayenne pepper.
- You can sub out the fresh lime for a couple of tablespoons of lime juice from a bottle, but I think the fresh lime juice tastes better.
- Keep calories down by using light mayo or substitute all or part of the mayonnaise for light sour cream or plain Greek yogurt.
- Cover up any leftover dip and store it in the refrigerator for up to a week.

How to Make Sweet Potato Fries Dip
Ingredients
For the Dip:
- 1 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 lime juiced
- 1 tsp. ground chipotle powder
- 1/2 tsp. chili powder
- 1/4 tsp. paprika
- 1/4 tsp. cumin
- 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
Instructions
- Mix up the chipotle lime dip at least an hour before serving so the spices have a chance to blend together: In a small bowl, mix all the ingredients together and refrigerate.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Cut the sweet potatoes into long sticks and place in a large ziploc bag. Add just enough vegetable oil to lightly coat the potatoes, seal the bag and toss to distribute the oil evenly.
- Evenly layer the potatoes on to a cookie sheet. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, turning often until lightly browned. Remove from oven and sprinkle on kosher salt, to taste.
- Serve with the chipotle lime dip.

Fantastic!! Quick sidenote for folks who bake them is to cut the fries and soak them in water at the very least 30 minutes up to overnight to remove excess startch and wind up with perfectly crispy, healthier sweet potatoe fry!
