Baked Sweet Potato Fries with Cinnamon Fluff Dip

I've been doing some research lately trying to get into the sweet potato craze.

I love sweet potato fries, but the biggest caveat with trying to make them is figuring out how to make them crispy and healthy.

Yes, I could fry them.  But, if you've ever seen me try to fry something... it's not pretty.

I'd prefer to just bake my fries to ensure that they come out edible.

But, then... how do you make them delicious like they've been fried to death without incurring all of the nasty health problems associated with fried food consumption?

After much research, I think I've finally figured it out.

Now, to create the ultimate sweet potato fry sauce... stay tuned for that!










Sweet Potato Fries

1 lb. sweet potato fries
2 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt & Pepper to taste


Marshmallow Dip:

1/2 cup marshmallow fluff
1/2 stick unsalted butter
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt



Preheat oven 450F.

Cut the sweet potatoes into small strips.  Coat the potatoes in olive oil, then dredge in cornstarch.

Lay the sweet potatoes in a single layer on baking sheet.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Bake 15 minutes.

Melt butter in a small pan.  You can choose to brown the butter if desired.

Mix melted butter with fluff, cinnamon and salt.  Mix well and serve with fries.
