I sometimes cook the potato chunks in the instant pot (with chicken broth as the liquid) for 1-2 minutes in a vegetable strainer prior to putting them in the oven with seasonings to roast up. works well.

Sweet potato wedges
2 large sweet potatoes cut into 6ths or 8ths
1 tsp salt
3/4 tsp garlic powder
3/4 tsp dried rosemary
Black pepper
Olive oil
Toss wedges in olive oil and salt mixture in a bowl. Spread on a cookie sheet not touching. Cook at 425° for at least 20 minutes—turn onto next side every 7-8 minutes until done.



Thanks - maybe too much trouble for the results….looking to keep the potato side extremely simple


simpified- cook in microwave. baking sheet with foil- either butter pats or olive oil or combo and salt. Put the potatoes pieces on it. Srinklle whatever spices you choose. Stick in oven for 15 minutes-435 or whatever. I turn nothing and don't care if they toush


Do you cook until mushy? Cut into pieces first before microwaving? I feel like I need someone to break down their specific process. I promise I’m not a bad cook, but I’ve never mastered sweet potato fries!

The key is adding a bit of cornstarch when coating in seasonings and toss with the oil.

We buy the Alexa frozen sweet potato fries and they come out quite well.

Cook's Illustrated did an article on how to make sweet potato fries at home (i.e. without deep frying). It was way too complicated for me.
