Sweet potato fries are actually rather trendy at the moment. They became rather popular in the states but you’ll be able to order them at various gourmet burger restaurants in the UK. They are very easy to make, but they’re also very easy to get wrong too.

If you’d like to make them as a side for your gourmet burger, here are our top tips:

1. Cut the sweet potato nice and thin, so you’re left with French fry cuts.
2. Place them in a bowl with a touch of salt, pepper, paprika and two tablespoons of olive oil.
3. Put the oven on high.
4. Lay the sweet potato fries out on a baking tray. Be sure to make sure none of them are overlapping.
5. Place them in the centre of the oven to cook for 20-25 minutes at 200°.
6. Only turn them over when the edges have started to crisp.
7. Take them out, serve with a dollop of ketchup and enjoy.
