They are called Jersey. They have a dry flesh and make excellent fries. Not mushy at all like our orange variety, centennial, we also grew. I mix onion salt, garlic powder, cracked pepper and olive oil in a bag. drop in fry sized slices to coat and bake for 20 min at 400. I will try 375 degrees next time because the tips burned. Great flavor, bit sweet and salty. We grew a yellow variety of sweet potatoes this year. They are called Jersey. They have a dry flesh and make excellent fries.

I followed the recipe exactly except i altered my seasoning a bit to eliminate the sugar. I mixed garlic powder, s&p, stevia, and cinnamon. A helpful hint I discovered (which someone could have already very well mentioned) was that I spaced the wedges far apart making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Apparently overcrowding can cause the fries to steam instead of bake, thus causing then to become soggy and not crunchy. Thanks so much for this recipe, I am officially a fan of sweet popatoes!

I have adored the method of soaking regular potatoes in water as well, so took your advice. It still didn't really work! However, my husband, who is a huge sweet potato fan, absolutely loved them. I even tried putting them under the broiler for a few minutes, which seemed to help, but not really solve the problem. As another poster mentioned, I have made circle shape chips before and they were crispy. But her advice is correct, if you don't be careful they can burn quite easily. And the search continues for the perfect, fool proof method! I made these last night, and was reluctant because I have had the same issues with sweet potatoes – they are always so mushy!

At last, baked sweet potato fries that don't get mooshy. I added cayenne pepper to the sugar mixture and that added some nice heat. I'm thinking smoked paprika would also be good.
