Baked Sweet Potato Fries Paula Dean Style

Don’t we all know how to bake sweet potato fries?

I normally use the usual oil and salt but that just wasn’t cutting it so on the hunt I went.

And ya kow, I gotta say, thank goodness for Paula Dean because she has turned such a simple recipe into a masterpiece. Truly.

Now I’m afraid with all this hype you might be a little disappointed when you see there is only one ingredient that changed everything regarding the sweet potato fry.

Baked Sweet Potato Fries

Recipe Slightly Adapted from: Paula Dean

5 sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1/4 inch long slices
Salt
Paprika

Directions:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees
Toss the sweet potatoes with enough oil to coat.
Sprinkle with salt and paprika
Spread sweet potatoes in single layer on prepared baking sheet
Bake until sweet potatoes are tender and golden brown (about 20 minutes), turning occasionally

If I had one, paprika would be on the top of my “Favorite Spices List”
