Can Yams or Sweet Potatoes be made into french fries?

Question

What texture would they have?

Answer 1

Yes. I know loads of resturants that serve them. Never seen Sweet Potato Steak fries, only "fast food" style thin ones. Then are as crispy, but they are stringier on the inside.

Answer 2

Absolutely!

SWEET POTATO FRENCH FRIES

INGREDIENTS:

4 Sweet potatoes, cleaned, eyed & cut into large wedges
1 Tbsp olive oil
1/4 tsp pepper

Combine salt, pepper, paprika in a plastic bag. Add potatoes & shake to coat well. Place potatoes on the cookie sheet & bake 20 minutes. Use a spatula to turn potatoes & sprinkle with the garlic & any remaining spices. Bake 20 minutes or until golden, turn again to brown the other side, about 10 minutes.

Answer 3

Yes they can be made into fries. The texture is similar to that of fried potatoes. The sweet potatoes brown faster than regular potatoes due to the sugar content and I feel they don't get as crisp as regular fries. My mother used to make them for us when she was alive. I hope that I have been some help to you.

In large bowl, combine sweet potatoes, oil, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat. Spread fries in single layer on baking sheet.
Bake 10 minutes. Turn fries over. Continue baking until tender and lightly browned, about 10 minutes longer.

Answer 8

Yes. They come out just like French Fries. They just taste like sweet potatoes(yams). Use a mandoline if you want them all to be cut uniformly, if not just cut them up and fry ar bake them. They are espically good with a pinch of salt and a liberal coating of cinnamon and sugar. Enjoy!

yes! a restaurant I go to sells them as an appetizer (comes w/ a side of honey garlic dip)

I actually love them, the texture is like some potatoes, crisp on outside a bit mushier then a typical fry on the inside. But yummy!
