Loaded sweet potato fries with pizza toppings

The recipe for these loaded fries came from the book of one of my blogger friends. I changed it a tiny bit by adding sweet potato instead of regular french fries but you can absolutely use either of the two.

I personally think that the best way to serve these hot fries is over drinks. It’s a fun food and you can use whatever toppings you like.

What do you need for the loaded pizza fries?

Now in this recipe I assumed you already know how to make sweet potato fries or you use ready made sweet potato fries from the grocery store.

You can find easy sweet potato fries that are made in the air fryer. Whatever you choose will work fine. On top of the sweet potato I used the following:

• spicy tomato sauce – you can use a pizza sauce, marinara sauce or add a bit of hot sauce to regular tomato sauce for a spicy effect
• olives – I added green olives, but you can use any kind of olive you like. Or if you don’t like olives you can leave them off as well.
• mozzarella cheese – now mozzarella is one of my favorite cheeses as it melts so lovely but you do need some extra cheese for additional flavor
• parmesan cheese – I used parmesan in addition to the mozzarella but you can use any kind of cheese you like
• pepperoni
• fresh basil – you can use any kind of other Italian seasoning as well.

You could even load more onto the loaded fries. Think black beans, green onions, red onion, red peppers or make sweet potato cheese fries (my next favorite loaded fries!!) by adding a whole lot more cheese. But like I said you can use your favorite toppings.

Making the loaded sweet potato pizza fries

For making the loaded fries you need a large baking sheet or a sheet pan. You start by baking the sweet potato in the preheated oven or in the air fryer.

Once that is done it is time to pile up the toppings. I like to start with the mozzarella. Just spread it over the fries. Add the peperoni if using and sprinkle the parmesan over it as well. Place back in the oven for about 5 minutes.

Remove from the oven and finish with the other toppings, like the olives and fresh herbs. Enjoy!
