    Outback Steakhouse Sweet Potato Fries Recipe Tips

    • Even Cutting: Make sure to cut the sweet potatoes into uniform steak fries to ensure even cooking and a crispy texture.
    • Coat Well: Don’t skimp on the olive oil. A generous coating helps achieve that crispy, golden texture everyone loves.
    • Seasoning: Adjust the seasoning to your taste. Add a pinch more cinnamon for extra sweetness or a little more garlic powder for a savory kick.
    • Air Fryer or Oven: For best results, cook the fries in an air fryer for a crispy finish, but baking in the oven works just as well—just keep an eye on them.
    • Serve Immediately: These fries are best served fresh and hot, paired with your favorite dipping sauce for an extra burst of flavor!

    Storing

    • Storing: Store any leftover sweet potato fries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To keep them crispy, allow them to cool completely before storing.
    • Freezing: To freeze, arrange cooked sweet potato fries in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Transfer the frozen fries to a freezer bag or container and store for up to 3 months.
    • Reheating Outback Steakhouse Sweet Potato Fries: Reheat fries in the air fryer or oven at 400°F for about 5-7 minutes to restore their crispiness. Avoid microwaving them, as it can make them soggy.

    Ingredients 

    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 2 large sweet potatoes
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

    Instructions

    • Peel the 2 large sweet potatoes and cut them into thick steak fries for the perfect texture.
    • Toss the sweet potatoes in 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon garlic powder and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ensuring they are evenly coated.
    • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (or oven to 425°F). Arrange the fries in a single layer and cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket or flipping halfway through.

    Equipment

    • Cooking Spray
    • Parchment Paper, optional

    Notes

    * Cornstarch is optional as it can lead to a crispier fry, but it can be powdery and may not soak in all the way, leaving a white dusting at the end.  The fries are excellent either way.  You can also add the oiled and spiced fries to a large freezer bag and add the cornstarch into the bag and shake well.  Adding a little moisture like water can help the cornstarch adhere to the fries and remove the dry cornstarch powder.  Just a little water helps (about one tablespoon).
    Leftover fries typically do not taste/look the same as a leftover.  Sweet Potato Fries should eat them on the same day they are cooked.
