Sweet Potato Fries with Chipotle Mayonnaise

I went through a phase when I wanted to learn the pitch-perfect method for frying French fries. Ive always subscribed to the twice-fried method. It results in a pretty good fried French fry: a soft interior and crispy exterior. Then I visited April Bloomfields New York restaurant, The Breslin, and was blown away by her famous thrice-fried French fries. It was then that I decided Im leaving French fries to a restaurant-only event. Between the big pot of hot oil and the fact that now I should definitely fry them three times, theyve fallen into that category that isnt homemade. Except when Im craving them AND I can turn to my trusty ol oven.

These sweet potatoes are cut up into spears and baked in the oven until tender. Chipotle and sweet potatoes are maybe one of my favorite flavor combinations ever. The smokiness from the chipotle peppers in adobo and the, well, sweetness from the sweet potato is glorious. This recipe couldnt be simpler. Its neither fussy nor time-consuming but that doesnt mean it isnt very tasty. But this recipe still doesnt mean that I wont be visiting The Breslin the next time Im in New York.
