Ingredients
Scale
Fries
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt, to taste
Toppings
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 6 slices cooked crispy bacon, crumbled
Instructions
- Prepare the sweet potatoes: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into even-sized fries. Toss the fries in olive oil and season evenly with salt.
- Bake the fries: Arrange the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until fries are crispy and golden brown.
- Add the toppings: Remove fries from oven and immediately sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the hot fries. Return to the oven for 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts.
- Serve loaded fries: Transfer the cheesy fries to a serving platter, top with crumbled bacon and dollops of sour cream. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, soak sweet potato fries in cold water for 30 minutes before baking and pat dry.
- Use smoked bacon for a deeper, smoky flavor.
- Customize toppings with chopped green onions or jalapeños for added zest.
