These Sweet Potato Fries with Chipotle Mayo are a bold, flavorful side that’s hard to resist. We like to serve them with these Maple Mustard Pork Chops. The fries roast up golden and crisp, and the smoky, spicy mayo adds the perfect punch of flavor. Serve them as a snack, side dish, or even an appetizer for your next get-together.
Sweet potatoes are naturally sweet, so they pair perfectly with the heat from chipotle peppers and the tang of lime. The mayo is easy to mix up while the fries are roasting, and you can adjust the spice level to match your taste. A sprinkle of fresh cilantro on top adds color and freshness.
Helpful Tips
- Cut evenly: Aim for uniform fry sizes so they cook evenly. Too thick and they won’t crisp; too thin and they’ll burn.
- Use parchment paper: It helps the fries get crispy without sticking.
- Customize the mayo: Add more chipotle for heat, or a pinch of smoked paprika for extra depth.
