Ingredients
- 1 lb sweet potatoes (about 1 large)
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- Kosher salt
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp soy sauce
- 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 drops hot sauce, such as Tabasco
Preparation
Step 1
Position racks in the bottom and top thirds of the oven and heat the oven to 425F. Spray 2 baking sheets with cooking spray.
Peel and cut the potatoes into approximately 2" lengths and then cut each piece lengthwise into 1/4" wide slices. Lay the slices flat and cut them into 1/4" strips, so you have 1/4 x 1/4 x 2" sticks.
Whisk the egg whites with the smoked paprika, cumin and 1 tsp salt in a medium bowl. Toss the potatoes in the mixture to thoroughly coat. Spread them on the baking sheets in a single layer so that they are not touching.
Roast the sweet potatoes until sizzling and starting to brown on the bottom, about 10 minutes. With a spatula, carefully loosen the fries and shake the baking sheet to flip them. Rotate the placement of the baking sheets in the oven and continue to bake until the fires are lightly browned, sizzling vigorously and tender all the way through, another 8 to 9 minutes. Sprinkle to taste with more salt.
Fry sauce:
In a small bowl, stir the mayonnaise, ketchup, lemon juice, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco. Adjust the seasonings until the sauce taste zesty but balanced.
Serve the oven fries immediately with the fry sauce.
