Tonight was sandwich night and to make it extra special I made sweet potato fries. This side dish is always a hit with my little family. It is super easy and only takes a few ingredients. By making fries yourself you can bake them and use a smaller amount of oil then used in restaurant fries, making this far more healthful.
Ingredients:
3 sweet potatoes (use about 1 sweet potato per person)
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tbs sea salt
1 tbs paprika
Slice the sweet potatoes to about 1/2 inch thick wedges and arrange on a non-stick baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil, salt and paprika over the fries liberally. Put them in the oven at 450 degrees for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes use tongs to turn over each fry. Put them back in the oven for another 15 minutes. Take them out and serve with your favorite dipping sauce. I like to mix 3 parts ketchup to 1 part mustard for an easy dipping sauce. Add a few dashes of hot sauce for some kick!
