Weis Sweet Potato Fries
What it is
These are pre-cut sweet potato fries, ready for cooking. They are made from sweet potatoes, a root vegetable known for its natural sweetness and vibrant orange color. The fries are typically coated with a light batter or seasoning to enhance their flavor and texture when cooked. They offer a convenient way to enjoy a popular side dish.
How people cook with it
Sweet potato fries are a versatile side dish. They pair well with a variety of main courses.
- With burgers
- Alongside grilled chicken
- As a snack
- With fish tacos
To prepare these fries, you can use your oven or an air fryer. For oven baking, spread the frozen fries in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven until they are golden brown and crispy, turning them halfway through the cooking time. If using an air fryer, place the fries in the basket and cook according to the appliance's instructions, shaking the basket periodically for even cooking. Ensure they reach your desired level of crispness before serving.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to regular potato fries, sweet potato fries have a distinct sweetness and a softer interior texture. Their natural sugars caramelize differently during cooking, leading to a slightly sweeter flavor profile and sometimes a darker, more caramelized exterior.

How to keep the rest
