    Essentials: Sweet Potato Fries

    Source of Recipe

    From "Williams-Sonoma: Burger Night"

    Recipe Introduction

    "You can cut the sweet potatoes into any size or shape you want. Just make sure that they're cut at a uniform size, so they'll cook evenly � and remember that the thinner they are, the crispier they will get. Serve these fries with a flavored a�oli or ranch dressing for dipping."

    List of Ingredients

    ◦ 2 sweet potatoes, about 1� pounds total, peeled and cut into �-inch matchsticks
    ◦ 2 tablespoons olive oil
    ◦ 1� teaspoons kosher salt
    ◦ Ketchup or a�oli for serving

    Recipe

    Preheat the oven to 425� F.

    Pile the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with the olive oil, season with 1 teaspoon of the salt, and toss to coat. Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer and roast in the upper third of the oven, turning once about halfway through, until golden brown on the edges and fork-tender, about 20 minutes.

    Remove from the oven and season immediately with the remaining � teaspoon salt. Serve right away with the ketchup or a�oli.

    Serves 4 to 6



    Variations:

    �� Rosemary:
