When you’re looking for an easy side to go with weeknight dinners, the frozen aisle is a must-shop. But instead of turning to basic fries, it can be fun to try something a little left of normal: sweet potato fries.

Be warned: Not all these sweet spuds are the same. That’s why our Test Kitchen team snagged every bag at the grocery store in order to find the best frozen sweet potato fries.

At times, sweet potato fries can lack the crispness you’d get from a good fast food French fry or even a frozen bag of fries. But with Ore-Ida Straight Cut Sweet Potato Fries, you get that much-needed crispy crunch.

All of our testers were very impressed with how well these fries baked in the oven. Many samples were a little limp or soft, but not these! “These have such a nice, crisp exterior with a creamy interior,” explains the Test Kitchen’s Mark Neufang.

These frozen sweet potato fries from Ore-Ida maintain that velvety texture that we love about sweet potatoes while still giving you that snackable crunch. While these are good on their own, Mark suggests trying these fries dipped in aioli—garlic aioli if you’ve got it!

In our test, Alexia Waffle Cut Sweet Potato Fries were a standout in all the best ways.

First off, the waffle shape was a huge hit among our testers. This cut allows the fries to really crisp up well in the oven and makes them sturdy enough for dipping into ketchup or your condiment of choice.

But these fries are so much more than a fun and functional shape—they also taste fantastic. The sweet potato base is flavored with a blend of spices including garlic, onion, chili pepper and cumin. “The seasonings make all the difference,” says Josh Rink in the Test Kitchen.
