If I had to think of a big difference between Forrest and mine’s personalities, one of them would be our use of superlatives. If you’ve been following our site for very long, I imagine you’ve seen me proclaim many times that something is the best version of something every (such as, my great-grandma’s best chocolate cake ever recipe).Don’t get me wrong – when I say something is the best ever…I really think it is! You know, until I stumble upon something else that’s even more delicious.
Forrest does not do this. He’s very careful with his use of superlatives (you probably won’t ever hear him saying it’s the worst day ever…which I’ve been known to utter more than one time.) While he’s always very polite about food, and he typically compliments most things I make, it’s a rare occasion where he actually says it’s one of the best things he’s ever heard. No, he saves that for very special occasions.
And this recipe, my friends, is one of those recipes. As Forrest was eating it, he told me, “This could possibly be one of the best things I’ve ever eaten.” Whenever we go out to eat, if they offer a loaded sweet potato, he always orders it. The all-natural flavors of the sweet potato fries make it so it’s a little more okay to have some sugar in it. I’d say this is a better-for-you dessert than a lot of options for sure. Plus, you make your own caramel sauce, which is almost always better-for-you (and more delicious) than store bought!
We are big fans of Alexia products – they have all-natural ingredients, and they just taste better than other brands of french fries, sweet potato fries, and onion rings. They are super tasty too, and I don’t feel all gross after eating them, like I often do with french fries and onion rings.
Anyways, we absolutely loved these loaded sweet potato fries. So much, that we had to take the plate out of the room, because we kept telling each other, “Okay, just one more!” And then changing our mind immediately after. None of us had much will power.
This is a pretty simple recipe to make. First, bake your sweet potato fries according to the instructions.
While they are baking, melt butter with brown sugar and marshmallows in a sauce pan on the stove until it starts to boil and is thick. After it boils, let it boil for about a minute, and then turn heat down. Continue to stir occasionally until you are ready to use the sauce.
After they are cooked, throw a bunch of a marshmallows on top, and broil until they are melted and start to brown. Watch them very carefully, as they can go from perfectly cooked to perfectly burnt in a matter of seconds.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with cinnamon.
Pour caramel sauce over the top.
Enjoy!

The secret to crispy (instead of soggy) sweet potato fries is to spread them out in an even layer with enough room so that they don't touch. This is especially important if you're making a big batch of fries. Instead of just piling more onto one baking pan, spread them out over two baking pans or cook them in batches.
Sweet potato fries pair well with just about flavor which leaves the dipping possibilities endless. A creamy yogurt-based sauce like a cinnamon yogurt is always a hit as well as something spicy like a chipotle aioli.

Some recipes for homemade sweet potato fries ask you to soak the fries before cooking. The theory is that soaking draws out starch from inside the potatoes, helping them crisp up.
Cornstarch really helps to get the outsides crisp!
I've played around with various amounts of cornstarch and olive oil and found the perfect ratio. I've experimented with arrowroot starch as well, and it produced fries that were somewhat less crisp, but it's worth using if that's what you have.
This sauce was also thinner than it looked, and it tasted like a mixture of ketchup and sriracha. It's listed as a spicy sauce, but I didn't think there was that much heat to it. This was great with the sweet-potato fries, in my opinion.
Sweet potato fries are a perfect snack to prepare well ahead of time. I like to cut up my potatoes and store them in a ziploc bag in the fridge until I need them. This way, all I have to do is season, bake, and serve the fries an out-of-the-box after-school snack or a fun late-night treat in no time!
TIPS & TRICKS to Make this Recipe: The main secrets to achieving that incredible crispy texture, is to soak the cut sweet potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove the starch from the sweet potatoes so they´re not limp & soggy.
Cooking sweet potato fries air fryer style is much healthier than deep frying them. You still end up with a crispy texture, but with a lot less oil. Compared to regular homemade fries in the air fryer, they have about the same calorie count, but sweet potatoes have more fiber and Vitamin A.
