Let’s talk about dipping sauce! I’m a big ketchup girl! I’ll put it on my eggs and lather it on my fries. The blend of spice and brown sugar gives these fries a subtle sweet heat that make them so addictive. I mix this all together and rub it all over the fries after I’ve drizzled them with oil.

Brown sugar– Adds a hint of sweet to offset the spice.

Chili powder, garlic powder, cumin & smoked paprika– Warm spices make these so crave-able!.

Make sure your cuts are all the same in size, and they’ll cook evenly and crisp up in the oven. Getting fries crispy in the oven is pretty simple. You can use them for mashed potatoes, hash browns and just about anything else you’d use regular potatoes for.

They have a beautiful purple-ish skin and yellow-ish flesh. To me, they kind of taste like chestnuts. I usually find these at my local Trader Joes. Japanese sweet potatoes, or “Murasaki” sweet potatoes, have a nutty flavor and are sweeter than your traditional sweet potatoes potatoes. They are not hard to find. To me, there is nothing more satisfying than French fries! Any kind, baked or fried, they are my weakness! And these fries get so crispy in the oven, you won’t even know the difference. These spiced Japanese sweet potato fries with basil ranch, are the most delicious snack you never knew you needed.

So it’s only right that I made fries out of them. Maybe even a little more than regular sweet potatoes.

Have you guys ever had a Japanese sweet potatoes before? I love them.
