Spicy Sweet Potato Oven Fries & Baking Potato Fries

I’ve combined two recipes here, including the Baking Potato Fries and Spicy Sweet Potato Oven Fries. Initially, I was going to make one or the other, but I prefer the sweet potatoes, while Mr. Key Lime prefers regular potatoes. Using one potato for each recipe gave us each two large servings (one for leftovers) and all of it fit nicely on the baking sheet.

Each type of potato has its own seasonings, which is nice if you want a little of each kind on your plate. To use less oil, I like to toss the potatoes in a bowl with a tiny bit, rather than drizzling it onto the baking sheet.

You may like these with a bowl of My Favorite Guacamole. They make a great side dish with my Spicy Avocado Chickpea Sandwich, or Florida Fresh Hotdog Relish with vegan hotdogs.

GLUTEN FREE OPTION: To make these gluten free, just be sure that all of your dried spices are gluten free.
