Loaded Sweet Potato Fries are a delicious and hearty snack or side dish featuring crispy baked sweet potato fries topped with melted cheese, creamy sour cream, and savory bacon bits. This easy-to-make recipe combines the natural sweetness of sweet potatoes with rich, flavorful toppings for a satisfying and indulgent treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Fries

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into fries
  • 1–2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Toppings

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sweet Potato Fries: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into evenly sized fries to ensure uniform cooking. Toss them in olive oil, salt, and pepper until well coated.
  2. Bake the Fries: Spread the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until fries are golden and crispy.
  3. Cook the Bacon: While the fries bake, cook the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel to drain excess fat, then crumble into small pieces.
  4. Add Cheese and Bacon: Once the fries are done, remove them from the oven and immediately sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the hot fries. Then, evenly distribute the crumbled bacon on top.
  5. Melt the Cheese: Return the loaded fries to the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
  6. Serve: Remove from the oven, dollop sour cream over the top or serve on the side as a dip. Serve warm and enjoy your loaded sweet potato fries!

Notes

  • You can customize toppings by adding green onions, jalapeños, or chives for extra flavor.
  • For crispier fries, soak sweet potato fries in cold water for 30 minutes before baking and dry thoroughly.
  • Use reduced-fat cheese and sour cream for a lighter version.
  • Ensure fries are spread out without overcrowding to promote even baking and crispiness.
