SPICED SWEET POTATO FRIES WITH CHILI-CILANTRO CREAM

Spiced Sweet Potato Fries With Chili-Cilantro Cream image

Sweet potato french fries will surprise everyone at your holiday table - and nobody will miss the marshmallows. The potatoes are baked, not fried, so no need to feel guilty. Chili powder, cumin, cayenne and paprika complement the natural sweetness of the potatoes. It's probably a good idea to double this recipe, because they go fast.

Ingredients

2 large sweet potatoes, cut in matchsticks/batons, approximately 1/4 × 2 inches (no need to peel)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
2 teaspoons sweet chili sauce
1 small garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 heaping tablespoon chopped cilantro

Steps:

Heat oven to 425 degrees. Toss the sweet potatoes and olive oil in a large bowl.
Combine the salt, cumin, chili powder, paprika, pepper and cayenne in a small bowl. Add to the potatoes and toss to coat.
Arrange the potatoes in one layer on a large baking sheet. Bake on the lowest rack of the oven until the undersides are browned, 12 to 15 minutes. Turn the potatoes with a spatula and bake for 10 more minutes.
While the potatoes are cooking, make the sour cream sauce. Combine all the ingredients except the cilantro in a medium bowl and whisk together. Stir in the cilantro.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and cool for a few minutes. Serve with the sour cream.
