Preparation
- Turn on the oven at 220 degrees Celsius (428 degrees Fahrenheit). Cover an oven tray with parchment paper.
- Cut the onion into quarter rings; as thin as possible. Mix the onion rings in a bowl with the white wine vinegar and sugar and stir well. Set aside and stir occasionally.
- Mix the sweet potato fries in a bowl with the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cornstarch and salt and pepper. Make sure all fries are well covered with the ingredients. Spread them over the oven tray. Do not rinse the bowl you have used to flavour the fries, you will use it again.
- Bake the sweet potato fries for 20 minutes in the preheated oven.
- In the meantime, remove the stem and seeds from the pointed peppers. Cut the flesh into fries. Put the fries in the previously used bowl and toss them in the bowl with the remaining oil and spices. Season with salt and pepper.
- Mix the mayonnaise with the yogurt and the sriracha to form a sauce.
- Put the baked sweet potato fries in a large oven dish and mix them with the pointed pepper fries. Spread the grated cheese over the fries.
- Bake the loaded fries for 5 – 10 minutes in the preheated oven until the cheese has melted.
- Serve the fries with the sweet and sour onion, the spring onions (cut into rings) and the sriracha sauce.
