Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potato Fries

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into fries
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Toppings

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fries: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the cut sweet potato fries with olive oil, salt, and black pepper to evenly coat.
  2. Bake the Fries: Spread the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until fries are tender and edges are crispy.
  3. Add Cheese and Bacon: Remove fries from oven, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the fries, then top with crumbled bacon.
  4. Melt the Cheese: Return the tray to the oven for an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese has melted and is bubbly.
  5. Serve with Sour Cream: Remove from oven and dollop sour cream on top. Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your loaded sweet potato fries.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, soak sweet potato fries in cold water for 30 minutes before baking and pat dry thoroughly.
  • Use turkey bacon or vegetarian bacon for alternative toppings.
  • Optionally, add chopped green onions or jalapeños for extra flavor and spice.
  • Use a sharp cheddar cheese for best melting quality.
  • Serve immediately after baking to keep fries crispy.
