Notes
Tips for the perfect Loaded Sweet Potato Fries:
1. For crispier fries, soak the cut sweet potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before baking.
2. Experiment with different toppings such as pulled pork, jalapeños, or your favorite cheese.
3. Swap out regular cheese for dairy-free cheese to accommodate dietary restrictions.
