Ingredients
Wedges
- 3 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 Tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
- 2 Tbsp oil 30 mL
- Flaky sea salt
Sauce
- 1 head garlic
- 1 Tbsp oil 15 mL
- ½ cup mayonnaise 120 g
- 1 tsp lemon juice 5 mL
Instructions
- Soak: Wash sweet potatoes and cut them into wedges (cut in half, then cut each half into 4 pieces, lengthwise). Place the wedges in a large bowl of cold water for 30 minutes to an hour.
- Shake: Drain and pat wedges dry. Place in a large plastic baggie. Add cornstarch to the bag, seal it shut, and shake, shake, shake. The potatoes should be lightly and evenly coated in cornstarch (add more cornstarch as necessary). Add all seasonings and shake again to coat.
- Roasted Garlic: Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Remove excess paper from the head of garlic, leaving the cloves intact. Cut just the top off the garlic head to expose the tops of the cloves. Place the head of garlic on a sheet of aluminum foil, then drizzle 1 Tbsp of oil into the exposed cloves. Wrap the head in foil, then throw it on the racks of your preheating oven.
- Bake: Place wedges in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with oil. Bake for 15 minutes, flip each wedge over, and bake for another 15 minutes until crispy. The garlic should be roasting in the oven this whole time.
- Cool: Turn off the oven and slightly prop open the door. Allow the fries to crisp for 10 more minutes.
- Sauce: While fries crisp up, combine 6 cloves of the roasted garlic with mayonnaise and lemon juice.
- Serve: Remove fries, sprinkle with flaky sea salt, and serve with roasted garlic mayo.
