Sweet Potato Oven Fries with Curried Yogurt Dipping Sauce
As I was searching through some of my piles of recipes last week. You know the kind of pile...those recipes one clips from here and there or that one prints off and stacks beside the computer. As I sorted through, I came across a recipe with a combination of flavors that sounded super. I love sweet potatoes and I love anything with curry! I was hooked and I was not disappointed. I just wish I had made extra extras! I used yams for this as sweet potatoes are not available here this time of year.
Sweet Potato Oven Fries with Curried Dipping Sauce
Sweet Potato Oven Fries
2 large sweet potatoes, washed, peeled and cut lengthwise into 1/8 wedges
3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup cilantro leaves, washed, dried, and chopped fine
Fleur de sel
Curried Yogurt Dipping Sauce
1/4 cup mayonnaise (non-fat will not work!)
1/2 cup plain yogurt (non-fat no!)
Juice from 1/2 lemon
1 Tbsp honey
1 1/2 Tbsp curry powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 large sweet potatoes, washed, peeled and cut lengthwise into 1/8 wedges
3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup cilantro leaves, washed, dried, and chopped fine
Fleur de sel
Curried Yogurt Dipping Sauce
1/4 cup mayonnaise (non-fat will not work!)
1/2 cup plain yogurt (non-fat no!)
Juice from 1/2 lemon
1 Tbsp honey
1 1/2 Tbsp curry powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Sweet Potato Oven Fries
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil and place in hot oven for at least 5 minutes.
Using clean hands, toss sweet potato wedges with
extra virgin olive oil, kosher salt, and freshly ground pepper until all surfaces are coated evenly.Remove hot sheet pan from oven, and arrange coated sweet potato wedges in a single layer. Place sheet pan back in the oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes. About half-way through roasting time, flip the wedges onto the other side so that they brown evenly. Sweet potato wedges are ready when all sides are evenly browned and slightly crispy on the outside.
When oven fries are hot, sprinkle with a few flakes of fleur de sel and the chopped cilantro. Transfer to a serving dish.
Curried Yogurt Dipping Sauce
In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise, yogurt, lemon juice, homey and curry powder with a fork. Make sure there are no lumps and everything is incorporated evenly. Season to taste with salt and pepper, transfer to a serving bowl, and serve alongside the sweet potato oven fries.

These fries will become a regular around our house. They were delicious!
I am thinking that I should sort through my recipes more often. I know I will find more treasures.

Love the crinkle cut! The sweet potatoes look oh-so-gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteKate--I am always looking for a better (healthier) way to eat potatoes and we love sweet potatoes. I don't know what fleur de sel is??? This does look great!
ReplyDeleteKate, these look FABOO! Dan doesn't like sweet potatoes, but I LOVE them. I think I'll make these one day when he's out. The dipping sauce also sounds wonderful--anything that starts with mayo and yogurt is ok in my book.
ReplyDeleteLOL about the soup! There was another Kate who said that she was having dinner guests, and I thought it was you. Our name is just so popular...
This sounds and looks real nice!
ReplyDeleteDipping sauce sounds interesting for a change of pace.
ReplyDeleteJoyce
Your Kirinkle Kuts are so cute..We love them also..The dipping sauce sounds really good!
ReplyDeleteThese sound delicious!!
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely trying your dipping sauce. It reminds me of one that I like with onion rings:
1 cup mayo
5 TBsp Chili sauce
2 tsp Chili Powder
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
again.. SOOOO healthy for you haha, It's a Paula Dean of course ;)
At least yours has yogurt and in it!
Thanks for the recipe!! :)
These look delicious. I love sweet potato fries but I have a hard time getting them crisp. I'm going to try your recipe and see if I have better results. I hope you are having a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteI always think I'm going to try sweet potato fries and haven't done it yet. Your photos are making my mouth water, Kate. I'm a big curry fan so will try the dip too.
ReplyDeleteI'm seeing sweet potato fries more and more on restaurant menus lately. No wonder if they look as good as yours. The curried yogurt dipping sauce would only make them better. Gorgeous photo too.
