4 servings Do not judge these fries by potato standards; sweet potatoes do not have as much starch, and will never be as crisp. Sweet, moist, orange varieties can be used here, as well as the starchier boniato sweet potatoes (which will yield crispier, fry-like results). To oven-fry, see Oven “French-Fried” Potatoes. Please read about Deep-Frying.
