Loaded Sweet Potato Fries
These Loaded Sweet Potato Fries are oven baked until tender with crisp edges, then piled high with savory toppings like bacon, parmesan cheese, and jalapeños.
Ingredients
- 3 large sweet potatoes, cut lengthwise into wedges
- ¼ cup butter, melted
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ¼ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup bacon, cooked & diced
- ¼ cup parmesan cheese, shredded
- ¼ cup red onion, diced
- 2 jalapeños, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Slice sweet potatoes into wedges and place in a large bowl. Toss with melted butter, dried thyme, salt, and pepper to coat evenly.
- Spread wedges in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 30–35 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and tender with crisp edges.
- Once baked, transfer fries to a serving platter. Top with sour cream, bacon bits, shredded parmesan, diced red onion, and sliced jalapeños.
- Enjoy immediately while hot and crispy. Serve extra sour cream or ranch dressing on the side, if desired.

Notes
- Cut wedges evenly: Keeping the sweet potato wedges a similar size helps them cook evenly and crisp at the same time.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan: Spread the fries out in a single layer so they roast instead of steam. Use two pans if needed.
- Flip halfway: Turning the wedges halfway through baking helps both sides brown and develop crisp edges.
- Add toppings after baking: Wait until the fries are fully baked before adding toppings so nothing burns in the oven.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve these sweet potato fries with Air Fryer Chicken Tenders or pair them with Honey Mustard Chicken for a fun, shareable meal.
