I have a weakness for French fries and I will admit I have been know to sit at the bar at Red Robin and get bottomless fries. I usually max out at 3 helpings for fries with honey mustard when it’s been a bad day. This recipe is a great alternative to the deep fried goodness of the white potato.
Sweet potatoes are dynamic and can be made into a bunch of things. Sometimes I like them made up sweet and mashed and sometimes I like them salty.
What you’ll need
1 large sweet potato
Olive oil
Sea salt
Equipment
Large knife
Veggie peeler
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350
2. Peel potato and rinse
3. Cut potato in half, then quarter, then slice into fry-size pieces
4. Toss potato pieces in a little olive oil in a bowl until coated lightly
5. Dump potatoes onto a baking sheet and sprinkle with sea salt
6. Bake for 15 minutes
Notes
A large potato makes enough for two people. Depending on your oven and if the temperature is off, you may need to keep them in longer or less.
These seem so delicious (and simple)! And I do love my fries (especially after a long day), so next time I’ll try these instead!
They are awesome and it’s the perfect sweet and salty. They’re great with a spicy mayo or caramel sauce if you want to be a little bad :]
I love sweet potato fries too, they are my Paleo weakness! I love them with a sprinkling of rosemary on top 🙂
