Sweet potato fries. Do I even need to describe how good they are? Slightly sweet, a little salty, nice and crispy. . .all wrapped up in a fry.

Nine times out of ten (okay, more like 10 out of 10), if we’re at a restaurant where sweet potato fries are an option, one of us will get them.

Sometimes they come with a light coating of brown sugar, sometimes they’re spicy, it doesn’t matter. We like them!

Sadly, there are only two recipes for sweet potato fries on the blog. Until now, now there are three! And these garlic and herb sweet potato fries definitely need to be shared.

Crispy, garlicky, herby, and cheesy. These sweet potato fries will give your favorites a run for their money!

We tend to like our sweet potato fries with a bit of spice, as in these buffalo sweet potato fries. However, the garlic and herb combination may become my new favorite.

The fries start out with a coating of onion powder, salt, pepper, thyme, and crushed red pepper flakes. At the very end they are tossed with fresh garlic, parsley, and grated parmesan.

The combination is one that proved to be irresistible for us, and I think it will be for you, too!
