Sweet potatoes contain more moisture than white potatoes so sweet potato fries and chips have a tendency to bake up soft instead of crisp.

Part of this problem is caused by the type of sweet potato. There are moist-fleshed and dry-fleshed sweet potatoes.

If you are growing sweet potatoes in your home vegetable garden and you know you want to make oven baked chips or fries, plant a dry-fleshed variety like Jersey Yellow, Nancy Hall or Boniato (Cuban sweet potato).

Most markets do not label sweet potatoes by variety. Look for paler skin and flesh (more yellow than orange) as most of the dry-fleshed varieties have lighter skin and flesh.

Sometimes grocers will label these as yams.
