Chef's Tips

For extra crispy fries, soak the cut sweet potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before tossing with oil and spices. Pat them dry thoroughly before baking.

If you don't have gochugaru, you can use a combination of paprika and cayenne pepper, but the flavor will be slightly different.

Adjust the amount of gochujang in the spicy mayo to your desired level of spiciness.

Garnish the fries with chopped green onions for added freshness.
