Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 sweet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Notes

  • I like to use a microplane for grating garlic so it’s very fine and easy to incorporate into sauces and spreads. if you don’t have one feel free to use a garlic press or just mince as finely as you can with a sharp knife.
  • Japanese sweet potatoes are white inside and work really well if you can find them! I also like the presentation of these a bit more.
  • These fries are best enjoyed immediately, but if you do have leftovers, I recommend reheating in a toaster oven rather than microwave to keep them crisp.
