❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Crispy Oven Fries

Q: Can I make oven fries with sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes?

No, you should not use sweet potatoes for this recipe. Sweet potatoes have a higher water content than regular potatoes, which makes them more difficult to cook evenly in the oven. Regular potatoes are the best choice for this recipe because they yield a crispy exterior and fluffy interior that’s hard to achieve with sweet potatoes.
