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.

Hi Christina, what a fantastic job you have done with these! I hope you bring it over to Food on Friday to share with everyone as part of Pot Luck. Cheers from Carole’s Chatter
Thanks for linking this recipe to THIS WEEK’S CRAVINGS (please remember to add a link back to the linky party). I am in need of more recipes for Sweet Potatoes, I must try this!
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.
Thanks for the kind words, DeDe! I’m glad you enjoyed reading my cooking adventures. I’d love to know if you tried any of the recipes.
Thanks for reading! Come back soon!
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.
Try some cinnamon/ sugar on them! It’s like a party in your mouth. Yummy!!!!
Oooohhhh! Now, that sounds divine! I think I’ll give that a try this weekend!
Thanks, Amy!!!
