For extra crispy fries, soak the cut sweet potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before tossing with the spices. Pat them dry before coating. Adjust the amount of hot sauce to control the spice level. For a milder flavor, use a mild hot sauce or reduce the quantity. Consider serving with a cool dipping sauce like a creamy aioli or a tangy yogurt dip to balance the heat.
