Cajun Sweet Potato Fries

Prep: 20 min | Total: 60 min | Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Fries

  • 3 large dark orange sweet potatoes (3 pounds), peeled
  • 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

Sauce

  • 2/3 cup Yoplait® Fat Free plain yogurt (from 2-pound container)
  • 1/4 cup chili sauce
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 425 degrees F.

Fries

  1. Cut each potato crosswise into about 4-inch chunks, then cut lengthwise into 1/2 x 1/2 inch strips.
  2. In large resealable food-storage plastic bag, mix Cajun seasoning and cumin.
  3. Add potatoes; toss until evenly coated.
  4. In ungreased 15 x 10 x 1 inch pan, arrange potatoes in single layer.
  5. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, turning once, until potatoes are lightly browned and tender.

Sauce

  1. In small bowl, mix all sauce ingredients.
  2. Serve sauce with fries.

Notes

A hot oven and placing the potatoes in a single layer on a shallow pan is important for crispiest potatoes. If potatoes are layered, they'll steam and will be soft.
