Instructions
Prep and Soak the Fries
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Peel sweet potatoes and cut into uniform fry shaped sticks about 1/4 inch thick. Soak the cut fries in cold water for 20 minutes to remove excess starch, which is key to achieving crispiness. Drain and pat completely dry.
Season and Arrange Fries
Toss the dried sweet potato fries in olive oil, cinnamon, smoked paprika, and salt until evenly coated. Spread them in a single layer on two baking sheets, making sure fries do not touch each other. Overcrowding causes steaming instead of crisping.
Bake the Fries
Bake at 425 degrees F for 15 minutes, then flip every fry with tongs and bake for another 12 to 15 minutes until the edges are caramelized and crisp. Watch closely in the final minutes as sweet potatoes can burn quickly due to their natural sugar content.
Make the Marshmallow Dip
While fries bake, beat softened cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth and fluffy. Add marshmallow fluff and vanilla extract and mix on medium speed for 2 minutes until the dip is light, airy, and fully combined. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Serve Hot
Transfer hot crispy fries to a serving platter immediately from the oven. Serve alongside the chilled marshmallow dip in a small bowl. For an extra touch, use a kitchen torch to lightly toast the top of the marshmallow dip before serving.
