Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into ¼-inch thick fries
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup heavy cream (can substitute with coconut cream for dairy-free)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into evenly sized ¼-inch thick fries.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, smoked paprika (if using), and salt. Add the sweet potato fries and toss until lightly coated.
  4. Spread the fries in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet, avoiding overcrowding.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until fries are golden and slightly caramelized.
  6. While fries bake, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth in a mixing bowl.
  7. Add mini marshmallows and vanilla extract to the cream cheese and whip with an electric mixer or hand whisk.
  8. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  9. Gently fold the whipped cream into the marshmallow mixture, keeping it light and fluffy.
  10. Check fries for crispness; broil for 1-2 minutes if needed, watching closely to prevent burning.
  11. Serve fries warm with the fluffy marshmallow dip immediately.

Notes

Pat fries dry before tossing in oil to remove excess moisture for extra crispiness. Flip fries halfway through baking to ensure even browning. The marshmallow dip is best made fresh but can be refrigerated for a few hours; stir before serving. For vegan version, use dairy-free cream cheese, coconut cream, and vegan marshmallows.
