BAKED SWEET POTATO FRIES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Rinse and peel sweet potatoes.
• To cut into fries, cut a small sliver off the edge of the potatoes lengthwise to create a flat side for them to rest on. Turn the potato over to lay on its flat side. Cut each slice lengthwise into three to four fries.
• Place the fries in a bowl of water and soak for one hour. (This helps remove excess starch from the potatoes so your fries will be crispier.) Rinse and dry off.
• In a large bowl or gallon bag, toss the fries with cornstarch until they're evenly coated. Then add the oil and toss to coat.
• Add the pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and brown sugar and toss to evenly distribute your spices. (Hold off on adding the salt until after baking. This will help make sure the fries are crispy.)
• Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Lay out the french fries, being sure not to overcrowd the pan. (You may need two pans, depending on how large your pans are. Avoid overcrowding one pan or your fries may not crisp up.)
• Bake for 15 minutes. Flip fries with tongs, then bake for an additional 10-15 minutes. Sprinkle on salt (to taste) and serve! Add shredded Parmesan and chopped parsley for an optional garnish.
• Enjoy!

CHEEZY BAKED SWEET POTATO SMILEY FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 F. Bake sweet potatoes on a baking sheet for one hour or until easily pierced through with a fork and skin is easily removed. Leave oven at the same temperature to use later. Let roasted sweet potatoes stand for a few minutes until easy to handle and no longer steaming. When cooled sufficiently, peel off skin and drain excess liquid or pat dry as much as possible.
• Put soft, roasted, peeled potatoes in a large bowl and mash with a potato masher or fork. Add all the rest of the ingredients for the dough and mix together until a dough forms. Transfer to refrigerator and let cool for at least 1 hour.
• In the meantime, mix together ingredients for "parmesan" bread crumb coating and place aside in a bowl.
• If dough is still too sticky or difficult to work with, add more arrowroot powder 1 tbsp at a time. Take rounded heaping tablespoons of dough, roll into a ball, and flatten into a thick disc. Press both sides into bread crumb mixture and transfer onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. If desired, spray oil onto parchment paper. Use a straw to punch two "eyes" into the discs and the tip of a spoon to make a rounded smile. If desired, spray on top with oil as well.Bake smiles at 425 for 30-40 minutes, until slightly browned. Let cool and serve with your favorite dipping sauces.
