Spiced Sweet Potato Fries With Chili-Cilantro Cream

5.0(259)

Sweet potato french fries will surprise everyone at your holiday table — and nobody will miss the marshmallows. The potatoes are baked, not fried, so no need to feel guilty. Chili powder, cumin, cayenne and paprika complement the natural sweetness of the potatoes. It’s probably a good idea to double this recipe, because they go fast.
