Looking for another great way to use up those UBER CHEAP sweet potatoes?!? This is a great week to buy sweet potatoes, as many stores have them priced as low as $.25/lb!!!
You can also cook, mash and freeze them for use in future meals!
If you’ve had your share of sweet potato pie or casserole, then give these a try with the extras! Would be delicious with a BBQ Turkey Sandwich!

Those will be on my menu next wek! I LOVE sweet potatoes!
Cara says
I love to add a little chili powder to mine too.
Erin, The $5 Dinner Mom says
@Cara,
Another great spice to add in 🙂
Jennifer says
We do our fries a bit differently. We leave the peel on (you don’t even notice it when it is cooked) and toss in a little bit of olive oil and sea salt. A different flavor, but still some great fries.
Ellen says
I’ve made these with paprika added as well as the cinnamon, an idea I got from Sarah’s Cucina Bella blog. Came out fantastic!
Erin, The $5 Dinner Mom says
@Ellen,
What a great idea…I’ll try that next time 🙂
Karen says

B. Keefer says
I have tried to do this 3 or 4 times (tried it last Sunday night) and they always come out soggy. Not sure what I’m doing wrong. Yours look so good.
Erin, The $5 Dinner Mom says
@B. Keefer,
Do you rinse them and pat them dry?!? That is the key!
Alicia says
Mine were soggy too. I didn’t rinse them and pat them dry since my husband peeled and sliced them for me and he washed them first. They were dry when I tossed them with the oil and seasonings though. If I try them again, I’ll see if that makes a difference. Thanks.

hi erin, could you put the “print this page” dohickey on this page? its so much easier to print that way. thanks!
Biz says
I wish I liked sweet potatoes – they look so good!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your new addition! 😀
B. Keefer says
Ah, a rinse and pat dry! Every recipe I read said absolutely not to do that. LOL I think I will try it again and this time do it your way.
Thanks!
Aaryn says
Yum! In Houston, all the stores have sweet potatoes on sale for 19 cents a pound, so I stocked up. Nice to have another recipe to try out! Thanks!
Shelley says
YUM…these look so good! I am definately making these…my girls LOVE sweet potatoes! I usually bake them and add butter and cinnamon/sugar. What a great new way to eat them 🙂
Candice says
I love sweet potato fries and they are wonderful dipped in BBQ sauce. Maybe it’s a southern thing but they are so good that way. Our family took a little vacation to Gatlinburg, TN last year and a restaurant there serves them with BBQ sauce. You have to try it!
Erin, The $5 Dinner Mom says
@Candice,
Love the BBQ sauce idea 🙂
Juile Anne says
You luckies, getting these potatoes for $.19/lb the cheapest I found was $.89/lb at WinCo last week. I do however want to try these they sound yummy!!!
jessica jackson says
@Juile Anne, .25 at my walmart tonight
sito says
Oh, yum! I’ve made sweet potato fries, but only ever salted them. The brown sugar and cinnamon would give a new twist on this treat.
Brooke says
Made these tonight and loved them! Thanks for the recipe.
Heather Dormer says
A different twist on sweet potatoes is to fire up your grill, slice the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise, smear the cut sides with butter, sprinkle garlic salt & black pepper on them, press the cut sides back together, wrap in foil, grill till done. A change up from the usual sugary recipes.

I can NEVER get the fries to come out crispy. always, always, alwaysssssssss soggy! I have tried the rinse and dry, and this time i even pre cut them this morning and put them in the freezer until tonight when i was doing dinner (trying to mimic the grocery bought ones i guess) and still soggy! so disappointing because i love baked fries when they work. Help me! =[
