Crispy sweet potato fries
There is nothing worse than soggy sweet potato fries! Getting them to be crispy every time took me a bit of practise and a few different recipes. This one is now fail proof!
There are 3 things I discovered as the common things needed. The first is to use baking paper to bake them, the second is to lightly coat them and the third is cook them on a lower heat for longer.
