Name: Loaded Sweet Potato Fries
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: Serves 4
Ingredients: 2 lbs sweet potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch thick fries; 2 tablespoons olive oil; 1 teaspoon garlic powder; 1 teaspoon paprika; 1/2 teaspoon sea salt; 1/4 teaspoon black pepper; 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese; 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled; 1/4 cup chopped green onions; 1/2 cup sour cream; 1 avocado, diced; 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for extra crispiness)

Instructions

Prepare the sweet potatoes

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and peel sweet potatoes if desired (leaving skin on adds texture and nutrients). Cut into 1/2-inch thick fries of even size to ensure uniform cooking.
Season the fries

In a large bowl, toss sweet potato fries with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. If using cornstarch, sprinkle it over the fries and toss to coat evenly for extra crispiness.
Bake to perfection

Arrange sweet potato fries in a single layer on baking sheets, ensuring they don't overlap. Bake for 15 minutes, then flip fries and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until edges are crispy and golden brown.
Add cheese and bacon

Once fries are crispy, sprinkle shredded cheese and crumbled bacon over the hot fries. Return to oven for 2-3 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
Add final toppings

Transfer loaded fries to a serving platter. Top with diced avocado, dollops of sour cream, and sprinkle with chopped green onions. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
