Unbelievably Good Dessert Sweet Potato Fries

Course Dessert
Author Maggie @ The Love Nerds

Ingredients

  • 1 Bag of McCain's Sweet Potato Fries
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 c sugar
  • 1/4 c brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon

  • ICING
  • 1 c powdered sugar
  • 3-5 tbsp of heavy cream or milk adjust to your preferred thickness
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 F, and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place fries in a large bowl or ziplock bag and toss with cornstarch. It should be a thin coating. I find that the cornstarch helps with the extra moisture in the fries and in the sugars and helps make the fries crispier. Get rid of any extra cornstarch.
  3. Add sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon into a bowl or another ziplock bag. Toss fries to coat.
  4. Add fries in a single layer on the baking sheet with space between the fries. If they are close together, they will steam and not get crispy.
  5. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and flip. Then, return to the oven for 10-15 more minutes. The edges of the fries might get a little dark, but they will be more caramelized brown sugar than burnt. It's also not uncommon for the cinnamon/sugar mix on the pan to caramelize as well.
  6. Add the fries to a bowl and toss with remaining cinnamon/sugar mix.
  7. Combine powdered sugar, cream/milk and vanilla to make a vanilla glaze. Add more cream/milk 1/2 tbsp at a time after the first 3 tbsp until you get the desired thickness. Drizzle on top and reserve the remaining glaze for dipping.
