Transform a simple snack into a culinary delight with our helpful tips for loaded sweet potato fries.

Layer strategically

Arrange the toppings evenly for every bite to include a bit of each component. Start with the black beans, followed by avocado slices, chilli, and chives. You can also arrange the different ingredients in groupings.

Storing and reheating leftovers

For next-day enjoyment, store the loaded sweet potato fries in an airtight container in the fridge. They will stay fresh for up to two days. To reheat, spread the fries on a parchment-lined baking sheet and warm in a preheated oven at 150 °C for about 15 minutes. To avoid sogginess, add the other ingredient after reheating rather than before.

Crispy fries with black beans, creamy avocado, and tangy white cheese

The crispy sweet potato fries take centre stage in this recipe as their natural sweetness contrasts beautifully with the other ingredients. The black beans bring a mild and meaty flavour, while the buttery avocado provides its signature creaminess. To top it all off, we add some crumbled white cheese. The loaded sweet potato fries will disappear in no time, so we recommend cooking an extra batch.

Drizzle fresh and vibrant salsa verde on top

The homemade salsa verde is a wonderful addition to the loaded sweet potato fries. Adding salsa verde on top gives the fries a burst of freshness and brightness with every bite. Its name translates to “green sauce”, and it is a popular sauce in Mexican cuisine because of its mix of fresh, bright, and herbaceous flavours. Our version is made from a combination of coriander, parsley, oregano, lime juice, and red wine vinegar. The green sauce balances beautifully the sweet and creamy flavours from the fries, black beans, and avocado.

Serve alone or as a part of a larger meal

Loaded sweet potato fries are delicious as a standalone dish, but they can also accompany other dishes. They pair beautifully with dishes like instant pot buffalo cauliflower or a buffalo chicken dip. A jalapeño popper dip with cream cheese adds a smooth texture, but if you prefer a lighter main dish, buffalo cauliflower quinoa lettuce wraps are a fresh option.

Pair the fries with Mexican dishes like tacos or wraps. Fries and burgers also go well together, so why not try a pulled pork burger, a British beef burger, or whichever burger you prefer? You can also serve them with savoury grilled meat with smoky notes. The great thing about loaded sweet potato fries is their ability to go well with a wide variety of flavours and meals.

Put your spin on it

Switch out a few ingredients and turn the loaded sweet potato fries into the dish of your dreams. You can experiment with the ingredients for the salsa verde by using herbs that suit your taste. Our recipe suggests coriander, parsley, and oregano, but you can include herbs like basil for a sweet, peppery kick or mint for a cool, fresh taste. Also, consider swapping out the salsa verde with garlicky tzatziki or spicy sriracha mayonnaise. Add toppings like shredded chicken, pulled pork, or chorizo if you want it as a hearty main course.
