Ingredients
For the sweet potato fries:
- 450 g (1lb) sweet potatoes
- 2 tsp corn flour cornstarch
- 1 tsp smoked paprika I used La Chinata
- salt optional
- 1-2 tbsp olive oil enough to coat potatoes
For the garlic chilli mayonnaise:
- 6 tbsp garlic mayonnaise
- 3 tbsp Sweet Chilli sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to fan assisted 200C / 220C / 425F / gas 7.
- Cut the ends of the sweet potatoes, peel them and cut into fries - try and cut them into even sizes so that they cook at the same rate.
- Put potatoes into a ziplock bag (or a bowl ) add the corn flour, paprika and salt if using and shake to coat the potatoes.
- If excess flour remains at the bottom of the bag then shake it out.
- Add the oil to the potatoes and mix again till the potatoes are fully coated.
- Transfer the fries to a non stick baking tray - spreading them out in a single layer with space between them.
- Bake for about 15 mins then turn the fries over so that they cook on the other side.
- Bake for another 15 mins till they are crispy (the edges might be a little bit brown but that just adds to the sweet taste).
- Take them out of the oven and let them cool for about 5 mins.
- Mix the garlic mayonnaise and chilli sauce together till very are very well combined.
- Serve the fries with portions of the garlicky dipping sauce - omit the mayonnaise if serving vegans.
- The best baked sweet potato fries ever.

Notes
- If your fries are thinly cut they might need a little less time in the oven. Feel free to add other spices or reduce the paprika to your taste.
