Crunchy Sweet Potato Fries

By GadgetGirl

Baked sweet potato fries are great on their own, but these crunchy bites are taken to another level when served with garlicky mayonnaise.

Ingredients

• 1 head garlic
• 1/4 cup oil, divided
• 2 lb. sweet potatoes (about 4), peeled
• 1 egg
• 1 pkt. SHAKE 'N BAKE Extra Crispy Seasoned Coating Mix
• 1/2 cup KRAFT Mayo Homestyle Real Mayonnaise

Preparation

Step 1

HEAT oven to 425ºF.

CUT 1/4-inch-thick slice off top of garlic; discard. Place garlic, cut-side up, on 6-inch-square piece of foil; drizzle with 1 tsp. oil. Wrap garlic in foil. Cover 2 rimmed baking sheets with additional foil; drizzle evenly with remaining oil.

CUT potatoes lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick matchlike sticks. Whisk egg in large bowl. Add potatoes; toss to coat. Add, in batches, to coating mix in separate bowl; toss to coat. Spread evenly onto prepared baking sheets.

BAKE potatoes and garlic 25 to 35 min. or until potatoes are crisp-tender and golden brown, turning potatoes every 10 min. Cool 2 min.

UNWRAP garlic; carefully squeeze garlic cloves into small bowl. Add mayo; mix well. Serve with potatoes.

SPECIAL EXTRAFor more kick, whisk 1/2 tsp. ground red pepper (cayenne) with the egg before using to coat potatoes as directed.
