They turned out much better and much less mushy than normal! Thanks for all the tips!</p> <p>[attach=3467/14/ndt1bz.600x600.image.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-has-a-good-sweet-potato-fry-recipe#post-1909006 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 11:43:12 +0000 regberadaisy 1909006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bake mine at 425 with evoo, garlic salt. It's not crispy like deep fry but it's crisp on the outside. I let it go for about 40 minutes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-has-a-good-sweet-potato-fry-recipe#post-1908976 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 11:28:17 +0000 JerricaBenton 1908976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read a trick online somewhere to dust fries with cornstarch first. Mine are pretty crispy now! I put them in a Ziploc, pour in cornstarch and shake like crazy, then add olive oil and seasoning and shake again. Then spread out in the pan, no two touching - use two pans if you have to- then bake! Crispy as I've ever had without frying.</p> <p>ETA I've also used a pan searing type flour when I was out of cornstarch and it worked similarly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-has-a-good-sweet-potato-fry-recipe#post-1908868 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 10:32:21 +0000 mamimami 1908868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have found that apart from deep frying the most important thing is to get oil everywhere. So, I put the fries and the oil in a tupperware or something and shake them. This helps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-has-a-good-sweet-potato-fry-recipe#post-1908864 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 10:30:33 +0000 looch 1908864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really think the only way to do it is to deep fry them...I think there is a method where you fry them twice...but this defeats sweet potato fries in my mind (a healthier option).</p> <p>I do like to preheat my cookie sheet in the oven, get it really hot, then I put the fries on that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-has-a-good-sweet-potato-fry-recipe#post-1908817 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 10:02:44 +0000 BadgerMom 1908817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've soaked them before, it does help, but nothing gets them really crispy like a restaurant. Unless you buy them in a bag... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-has-a-good-sweet-potato-fry-recipe#post-1908741 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 09:30:45 +0000 lamariniere 1908741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: definitely going to try soaking them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-has-a-good-sweet-potato-fry-recipe#post-1908730 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 09:26:23 +0000 blackbird 1908730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine too! Never super crispy so I'm interested in these responses </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-has-a-good-sweet-potato-fry-recipe#post-1908677 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 09:08:56 +0000 Anagram 1908677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This recipe promises crispy fries with a water-soaking step. I've favorited it but haven't tried it. <a href="http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2013/02/25/crispy-homemade-sweet-potato-fries/" rel="nofollow">http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2013/02/25/crispy-homemade-sweet-potato-fries/</a></p> <p>This recipe is the one I use all the time because the spice mix is so, so good but I double the spices.
