This recipe is a definite winner! The sweet potatoes were perfectly cooked, looked great and tasted delicious. I halved the recipe and cooked on the upper rack as suggested. I will be making these often. Thank you.

My fries came out soggy and burnt, followed the recipe to the letter.
Next time I’ll just stick to the frozen ones and put them in the air fryer, they always come out perfect!

I tried shaking the potatoes together in a bag with the oil, cornstarch, and salt to make sure everything was coated. I’d say they came out maybe like a 7 out of 10 on crispness. Four or five fries burned after 18 minutes. They were good overall; better than most of my previous attempts with SP fries. Do you think this recipe could be adapted for an air fryer?

I don’t know what went wrong, but my fries did not turn out crispy in the least. I followed all the tips: cutting them 1/4″ thick, not crowding the pan, corn starch first before oil, turning them, parchment paper, 425 oven. They shrunk a lot, but just weren’t even close to crisp. I don’t even know what I could do differently.
My conclusion is that you can’t have crisp sweet potato fries unless you fry them or use an air fryer. Live and learn, I guess.

I would suggest you change the 425 F temp to a lower temperature and change the time it takes to cook. Mine were burnt burnt they looked like I took sticks and rubbed them together and tried to start a fire.

I never tried using cornstarch to Chris fries before so I thought I would try it. I’m mostly followed your directions except for mixing the cornstarch and salt with the raw fries in a bowl because I hate flipping in a sheet. Then I drizzled the oil over them on the cookie sheet Without mixing them, could that be why my fries did not turn out crispy? A bit disappointed, but I still love them soggy or not.
