Chef's Tips

Soaking the sweet potato fries in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking helps to remove excess starch, resulting in crispier fries.

For extra crispy fries, you can broil them for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, but watch them carefully to prevent burning.

Adjust the amount of Japanese spice blend to your preference.
