One day, while at a lunch meeting, I tried sweet potato fries for the first time. It was all downhill from there. Now, I’m a sweet potato fry seeking machine. Those little orangey sticks are so good!
Making them at home is actually pretty simple. There are only three ingredients and a few easy steps.
These were pretty good. They weren’t the same as you would get in a restaurant, but then again, I didn’t deep fry mine. These fries have a softer texture than regular french fries and they’re full of natural sweetness.
This is a good side dish recipe to have on hand. And, you can’t beat the fact that it only has 3 ingredients.

Those look good. I love to order them too when I can find them on the menu. I bet yours are way better for us.
I found your link from Tammys. I never heard of sloppy joes called wimpies. We would call a hamburger a wimpy sometimes. It is after the guy on Popeye that wanted you to buy him a burger and he would pay you next Tuesday.
Enjoyed poking around on your blog.

we’ve recently become introduced to sweet potato fries and they are pretty good. I haven’t tried making them at home yet, but I have made some sweet potato chips that aren’t bad. They are deep fried though.
