If you’ve followed along with me for a while then you know that I absolutely love sweet potato fries. Surprisingly, until now, I’ve never shared my go-to recipe for homemade fries!
No fancy equipment necessary – just a baking sheet and an oven and you’re good to go!
There’s a secret ingredient to these french fries to give them a nice crunch: cornstarch! It helps crisp up the fries so they feel more like the take-out version you’re used to, despite being baked in the oven. You also want to make sure you’re not crowding the pan. You want plenty of space and they should all be laying in a single layer to ensure they’re all able to crisp up well.
For me, half the key to enjoying french fries is having a really good dip and this one is one of my absolute favorites.
It comes together with just a handful of ingredients (most of which are likely hiding in your pantry or fridge!) and literally only requires the stir of a spoon. I also love it on my veggie burgers, chicken and salmon!
I used siggi’s plain whole milk yogurt whose simple ingredients make it thick and creamy while lendinga delicious tang plus a nice boost of protein. We almost always have a 24 oz. container of siggi’s on hand because we use it in everything (making this sauce even easier to pull together!).
If you want to make it toddler friendly, you can reduce or omit the chipotle sauce giving them a nice protein-packed dip option!
