I love how John post constantly and never just throws a recipe out there. He takes his time recipe testing and always makes sure to put out the best and yummiest content for us! Thank u John!!

My father took me to have escargot when I was about 7. He didn't tell me what it was he just had me try it. Then he said "Do you know what that is?" I said no, and he said "They're called escargot, that is French for snails." At the look on my face he said "Remember that foods can be delicious that don't seem to be at first glance. I want you to be open to trying new things. I don't want you to grow up to be someone who just eats burgers and fries." And so I grew up to be someone who loves trying new things. I remember how the escargot tasted that day. It was lemony and garlicky and delicious. Every time I go to try something new that I'm unfamiliar with or that might not seem appealing at first, I remember what he said and I give it a try.

Finally, someone feels the same way I do about the minute amounts of oil some recipes call for. Drives me bananas!

I do enjoy your cooking and baking shows. I’m learning so much from you! I’m 63 years old. I thought I was a good cook. But since taking your cooking and baking classes, I am getting compliments galore. Thank you. Also I need to mention you are interesting and enjoyable to learn from. Merry Christmas to you and Brian.

Visiting in Ashville North Carolina they have this great little restaurant downtown called Posana. I went there for lunch and they served sweet potato fries with my burger. I had never heard of eating sweet potatoes like that. And what really made it work was the sprinkling of brown sugar of the potatoes. I was so delicious. Thank you for the tutorial, as always I so appreciate you John. Your boys are so lucky to have such amazing Dad's.

I love sweet potato fries without soaking them (the crispy outside and soft inside is perfect). For a spice mixture, their sweetness pairs well with either traditional dessert spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves) or savory (garlic, onion powder, cayenne pepper and basil... mmm).

The best sweet potato fries I ever had were covered in cinnamon sugar and came with cream cheese frosting for dipping! It was basically a dessert at that point :D

I definitely agree that the secret to crispness is cornstarch (or cornflour as we would say in the UK) and that soaking is a hangover from regular potatoes which makes no difference with the less starchy sweet potato. It's just extra work for no gain. A pinch of merguez spice mix along with the oil, cornflour and salt is just delicious! I find it less labour-intensive to sprinkle the cornflour, seasoning and oil over the fries all at once in a bowl and toss together, rather than adding them one at a time on the baking sheet.

Hello John! I would like to say,These recipes are so good! I try every single one! And it always comes out good.I adore they way you explain it and make it interesting! I have learnt so much from you.Thank you for all you do for us!

Totally agree with you about the spray. Can’t wait to try your way, I normally cook in air fryer but there not crispy. We love them.

We make super crispy SPfries by dropping into a pot of boiling water, for a few minutes, just until the surface softens, drain and drop them into a milk type consistency, a mix of cornstarch and a small amount of water, toss well, the soft surface makes the mix thicken up and cling to the SP fries. Onto a baking tray then into a cold oven… as The oven heats up, they slowly begin to cook through and when the oven reaches temperature they are crisp and done. Lots of salt… Eat !… another great video, just such good informative content, thank you for taking the time to share.

Hii John…!!! I love watching your videos, you explain recipes so well and make us fall in love in trying new dishes..n personally I like to see ur two sons involving in cooking with you.They are so adorable and precious, Thanks again xoxo

I've never had sweet potato fries. Here in the southeast USA we call them sweet taters. I can imagine these fries you make being yummy. John, might I ask if you've ever made sweet potato puffs on your channel yet? I love those and my mother freehanded her recipe and I never learned it. She'd make batches for us and her different little ladies' groups. We ate them as snacks, side dishes, and they were great hors d'oeuvres. I bet you could offer us a tasty recipe for sweet potato puffs someday when you might have time. Thank you for your time and work creating a great channel.

Love it when you give us savory recipes! Yay sweet potato fries!

I just ❤ your baking style....meaning easy to follow directions with a hint of animation 😊

John, besides your great recipes cause there’s not been one you make me laugh & enjoy preparing. Love your kitchen God bless your home, family and success. 🥰🥰

I made sweet potato fries in my air fryer. I don't use the corn starch, I just cut them up, put them in a bowl, put oil on them and stir them around in the bowl to coat them. Then I add what ever seasoning I want and stir them around again. They cook up fine in a few minutes and looked just like yours did, and taste good. I think this is the first thing I've seen you do that I've actually done....LOL

I love sweet potato fries... on of the local pubs sells it with eggplant aioli dip... its heaven 🤩

Love this!! Thanks so much for sharing this simple and informative recipe!

For the best wedges, I use only one teaspoon of olive oil. By tossing the wedges with a large tablespoon after drizzling the oil ensures they are all coated...best wedges I have ever eaten!

Thank you so much! I tried your recipe and it turned out so amazing

I've tried several 'top brands' of knives, buying an eight inch chefs knife of all to find what I liked best. Every time I used the Global & Shun knives I found myself worrying about how brittle they were. The hardness held an edge forever, but knowing I needed to be super careful was always in the back of my mind. I ended up settling on the Wusthof (classic). It turned out to be a perfect mixture of hardness and durability, and I don't need to be 'as' careful. I sold everything except the Wusthof Classic, and built my 15 knife collection around those. _I'm glad I did that when I was still working, because I could never afford to do that as a retiree!_

Love your cooking videos you are such a great professional chef 💕💕

This is such a healthy way to eat sweet potato fries! Thank you for this recipe!!!

Oh my gosh, it’s like you read my mind! Love your recipes!❤️

Looks great. I love sweet potato, anything recipes. I was praying you would show a caramel, sea salt dipping salt to serve with. Yummy.

I have exactly ONE sweet potato in my fridge. Gonna have to wait to make these because that one SP is for my lil fur baby girl. I like to eat SP baked whole then sliced open, pour some milk, sugar and cinnamon on it and go to town, lol. That's how my mom made them for us. Yum... 😋

I love all your shows!! You're the best! Everything always turns out just like what you make..:)

Your dishes are so savory and awesome.i love them.

These are amazing. Thanks for sharing this

I like to add regular paprika, hot smoked paprika, chili powder and granulated garlic to my homemade sweet potato fries. I don't feel like they need salt like regular fries do, so I don't use it. I also like to serve them with a fry sauce. For that I just use mayo, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce and hot smoked parika.

Everytime i watch your videos I am so relax😁

I love your enthusiastic personality. ❤️☺️

FINALLY!!! been waiting for this

I found you randomly searching how to make fries, just wanna say your vibe and energy is awesome, I feel so safe and welcome here

what prep med do you take?

I just made your sweet potato pie recipe and it was a hit at home that even my sister who’s picky loved it! And I decided to look for a sweet potato fries recipe and your video popped up first and I clicked fast knowing it’s gonna be another good video like of course how did I not try to look to see if you already did one of this! 😂 I will try this recipe

I made your recipes they were so delicious 😋 thanks preppy kitchen

You’re my favorite cooking channel 💕

You're amazing John‼️ I love these sweet potatoes thanks for the recipe. XOXO 😘

I love sweet potatoes. Thank you for the recipe.

I love your videos! I can't wait to try this. Your cabinet color is gorgeous, may I ask what it is?

Great video. Is there any alternatives for corn starch ? Thank you

You prepare it in a hygienic way, keep it up ✨👍🏾

Great video, as ever John! Legend!

I love cumin and a bit of mild chili powder on my sweet potato fries and on my roasted sweet potatoes. @John, is there a reason you don't do the olive oil spray first, and then the corn starch? Seems like the corn starch would stay put better. (I haven't tried corn starch before.) Just curious... Thanks.

Thank you for this recipe.

Omg! I'm obsessed with you! 😆 I'm hoping you have a cream puff recipe.... thank you for being awesome!

Please let me know if we can substitute coconut milk for regular milk in ur cake baking recipes? Will coconut milk affect the texture of the cake made following ur recipe??

Looks great John! 😋😋

Spraying oil is to fussy for raw tubers. Chuck them in a bowl with the preferred oil, and toss them with both hands until lightly coated. Into a large paper bag containing a cup of flour with a quarter cup of corn starch. Shake your stuff. Choose your heat treatment. Your chewy brownie recipe - Killer! 👍 😃

Thanks for this video, I love sweet potato fries. Any recipes for dipping sauces?

This looks delicious 😋

Never would have thought of the corn starch Good idea :)

I go with the garlic ,pepper ,salt and finally paprika inorder to provide another chance at the Millard effect. I really do enjoy the video's that you present, it takes time and effort. Time that you will never get back. Thank you sincerely chef

Ya had me at sweet potato This looks amazing 🤩

I hope you serve the fries with a sauce made of honey and melted butter! I didn’t like sweet potato fries until I had them with the honey and melted butter mix!! So delicious now!!!!

My FAV sauce dip for sweet potato fries: 1/4 cup Dijon Mustard 1/8 cup Honey 1/2 tsp Ancho Chili Powder 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder 1/2 tsp Rice Wine Vinegar

Great video John 😊😊

omg thank you so much! i have these leftover sweet potatoes, so i’ll definitely be making this!

Sweet potato is infinitely superior to normal potatoes, change my mind

My kids love it! BTW, I’m wondering if you have a nice easy simple yeast doughnut recipe. I couldn’t find it from your previous video, and I would love to see it. thanks!!

Hey now that's a sweet recipe! Looks super *Yammy!*

Another great recipe on one of my favourite fries.

Amazing sweet potato 🥔 fries 🍟 Preppy.

He soaked them overnight to remove excess starch but ended up coating them with starch?

Thank you for recipe

John, what peeler do you use there?

I love them dusted with cinnamon and sugar and then I have a marshmallow dip. It’s Heaven.

I made it, superb!

You are right 1 tsp of oil… seriously… definitely taking this tip from you. Gonna have an oil- mist bottle instead, for a more meaningful cooking experience. Thank you !

Wow! Look very yummy

Love your kitchen I never knew to soak them I’m making some fries today

Being diabetic sweet potato fries much healthier baked and delicious 🥰💙

Looks very nice and easy.

Love it! Thanks for being real about the oil etc, lol.

Such a nice guy

Which brand peeler hav u used?

I keep a rubber mallet in the kitchen to use to hammer through sweet potatoes, pumpkin etc. it really helps, as a very sharp knife can slip and slice through your fingers.

So both methods yielded crispy sweet potato fries? I just did an air fryer recipe where I didn't peel them, flash-boiled them, and coated them in oil and spices. They tasted delicious because I had seasoned them as such, but, they were not crispy.

Hello John, just dug up about 40# of home grown sweet potatoes with my 11yr old grandson...gee Nodda this is better than hunting Easter eggs lol...but here in Alabama we like cinnamon and just a little sugar. Love your channel, now I need to make my Italian buttercream, for the 11yr olds birthday cake.

Hi !! Jhon Happy 😊 Thursday I been looking at you cookie list getting some ideas you have some amazing cookie recipes. I have already made your peanut butter cookies . They were amazing.

They look yum!

Looks super yummy

Looks so delicious woww

AWESOME!

Thankyou for this recipe will make cz I always just bake my sweet potatoes

Love sprinkling salt and vinegar mix over - yummy

you're brilliant - god, sick kitchennn :) love from the highlands of scotland :)

Delicious

To me I prefer when they don't include the measurements of the oil when it comes to like coating the fries. That way you can add as much or as little as you want and not have to be constricted with the whole "1 tsp" thing! I like to drizzle mine with LOTS of oil so that would be like what? 1/4 cup? But yeah who really needs to measure that stuff! The spray looks more efficient at getting the job done tbh! Also as for seasonings I prefer to use the sweet seasonings like cinnamon and nutmeg as well as the basic salt and pepper to mine since it is sweet after all so you need some of that warming spices to compliment it! Though it would be nice to try other seasonings that no one really uses but still goes really well with the fries! Like maybe cardamom?? five spice perhaps? Also it would be really cool if you also did candied sweet potatoes as well since that's one of my favourite ways to enjoy sweet potatoes! that and also pie and cheesecake too!

Great! Won’t do with water. Your awesome! SUBSCRIBED!

My favorite seasoning is old bay!

Can you post a link to where you found your olive oil mister? I’ve gone through 2 of them that were terrible and clogged.

What would you recommend as a replacement for cornstarch in this recipe? I am allergic to corn and corn byproducts…

Hej John, I love seasoning sweet potatoes with estragon gives it an unique taste. Hello from Poland 😃

Awesome 🎉🎉🎉

Oh sweet potato fries with seedless raspberry jam melted down with a couple tablespoons of water and Amaaaaazing!

i love those

Can you use russet potatoes?
