sweet potato fries
These are lovely either as a side or a snack. If a snack, serve alongside some sour cream, for everyone to dip their fries into. The potatoes can be prepared up to 6 hours in advance, up to the point of placing them in the oven.
ingredients
3 very large sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced into ½-inch/1½ cm-thick fries (2½ lb/1.2kg)
1 tbsp sweet smoked paprika
½ tsp cayenne
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 tbsp polenta
7 tbsp/100ml olive oil
flaked sea salt
1 tbsp sumac
steps
Preheat the oven to 450°F.
Mix the sweet potatoes in a large bowl with the paprika, cayenne, garlic, polenta, oil, and 1 tsp flaked salt.
Once combined, tip the sweet potatoes (and all the oil) onto two large parchment-lined baking sheets and roast for 25–30 minutes, stirring gently once or twice, until the potatoes are cooked, crisp and golden brown.
Remove from the oven, sprinkle with the sumac and 1 tsp flaked salt, and serve at once
