Preparation

  1. Peel the sweet potatoes, then trim the ends and cut into ½-inch- (1-cm) thick matchsticks. Add the cut potatoes to a large bowl of water and soak for 1 hour.
  2. Preheat the oven to 425˚F (220˚C). Line a baking sheet with foil and grease with nonstick spray.
  3. Drain the potatoes in a colander, and rinse with cold water. Thoroughly dry the sweet potato matchsticks with paper towels.
  4. Add the sweet potatoes to a large bowl and sprinkle with the cornstarch, tossing until fully coated.
  5. Drizzle the grapeseed oil over the potatoes, then add the paprika, garlic powder, and pepper and toss to coat.
  6. Arrange the sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 15 minutes. Use a spatula to turn the sweet potato fries over, then bake for another 15 minutes.
  8. Turn off the oven and crack the door open, then let the sweet potatoes rest in the oven for 10 minutes.
  9. Season the fries with salt.
