sweet potato fries    We often order Sweet Potato Fries when we are out, but haven't tried them at home. So I immediately jumped on this recipe when it was posted in our local newspaper.

SWEET POTATO FRIES 

2 tablespoons coriander

1 tablespoon oregano

1 tablespoon cayenne pepper

2 tablespoon salt

6 sweet potatoes

    Preheat oven to 425 degrees.  Peel and cut sweet potatoes into fries about the size of Burger King fries.  Place into a large bowl and sprinkle with a vegetable oil (could try olive). Next sprinkle seasoning over fries - you can alway add more later.  Next, lay out on a pan.  Make sure that they are spread out and not touching or they will not become crispy.  Bake for 30-40 minutes and turn halfway through.  These are good hot from the oven or cold. 

 

    Now I have to find a recipe for the sauce like the one our local restaurant serves with them for dipping. 

 

P.S.~ There is another version of the recipe if you click on the photo.

Kathleen, while I'm not a big fan of plain sweet potatos -- sweet potato fries are great and the recipe sounds good.  I also like sweet potato casserole.

Kathleen - Thanks for sharing this recipe.  Sweet Potato Fries sounds like a great snack to make when you just want something light to munch on.  I love sweet potatos - but usually only have them around the holidays.  This will be something good to try.

Yum!  And I even have a sweet potato or two at home right now.  I might have to make this tonight.

I usually have sweet potatoes for the holidays too. I tried sweet potato fries from a frozen package and it was good. I will have to try making the real thing.

Sweet potatoe fries are great!   Even our grandkids ( 7 & 4) will eat the fries.  We have had them mashed, cut into wedges, cut into chips and grilled on the Weber.  Very nice recipe

I made these last night Kathleen & they were delicious!  I had to use one sweet potato and one white potato, as that's all I had, and they turned out great.

I will bookmark this.  I love the fries when eating out in florida.  I have tried them at the store but they do need some extra flavor.  Thanks,

Sweet potato fries are one of my favorite snacks and I always get them when I go to a local restaurant called Cabana Cove or another one called The Top.  I tried making them at home with no success whatsover.  This recipe looks great and I may have to give it another go.

You are welcome.

Kathleen, I totally missed the "PS".   The other recipe sounds simple and I'm sure it would be good, but I love the idea of adding the coriander and cayenne to give the fries and exotic flavor and a little kick!  Have you gotten a chance to make them yet?  How did they turn out, if so?

05/04/2008 09:49 AM by Angela Elliott, Gainesville, FL REALTORĀ® C21 Classic Properties (Century 21 Classic Properties)


I may have to try this. Looks awful tasty. And then again hot out the oven. Right up my alley.

Brenda- I like the fries and a potato casserole that is full of nuts and sugar, but I don't like baked sweet potatoes.  I am trying to learn to tho, as they are really good for you and low calorie without the nuts and sugar!!!

05/04/2008 10:28 PM by Kathleen Lordbock- HSE,RESA,SEA,SD ~Minnesota Home Stager~ (Re$ale Design & Home Staging)


Robert - Maybe you can get them to serve you these on the airplane!!!
