FAQs on grilling sweet potato fries:

• How do you get the sweet potato fries crispy? Toss them in oil and cook them with space in between on the grill. You don’t want to overcrowd them on there or they won’t cook properly.
• Can I use any sweet potatoes in the grill? Yes! We usually use the orange sweet potatoes, Japanese sweet potatoes and white sweet potatoes most often.
• What does soaking sweet potatoes in water do? Soaking them is key!! It helps release starches which makes them get crispy when you cook them.
