Ingredients
- 1 lb sweet potatoes, medium
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ¾ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp hot sauce (or paprika + cayenne)
Instructions
- 1
Heat oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2
Cut sweet potatoes lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick wedges, then cut those wedges into 1/4-inch-thick fries.
- 3
Pat fries dry with a clean towel — moisture prevents crispiness.
- 4
Toss fries with olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl until evenly coated.
- 5
Spread fries in a single layer on the baking sheet, cut-side down. Do not crowd the pan.
- 6
Bake 25–28 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until edges are dark golden and interiors are tender.
- 7
Whisk mayonnaise and hot sauce together in a small bowl until smooth.
- 8
Remove fries from oven and transfer to a serving plate. Serve immediately with spiced mayo on the side.
