Salt and Pepper Sweet Potato Fries
A soak in a vinegar bath plus a hefty dose of both black and white pepper give sweet potato fries an intense flavor. Baking them in a hot oven ensures they are crispy—but without all the fat from frying. Serve with your favorite ketchup, aioli, or dipping condiment.
