Toss the sweet potato fries in a bowl with olive oil.

Add a good amount of cracked black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and kosher salt to the fries.

Mix everything well to ensure the fries are coated.

Place the fries on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.

Bake in the oven at 400°F for 10 minutes.

Flip the fries over delicately after 10 minutes.

Continue baking for another 10 to 18 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

Prepare a dipping sauce by mixing equal parts mayonnaise and sour cream.

Add prepared horseradish and a tiny amount of Dijon mustard to the sauce and mix well.

Add a little salt to the dipping sauce and mix again.

Remove the sweet potato fries from the oven and serve with the dipping sauce.
