Sweet Potato Fries
I have in the past HATED Sweet Potatoes. I will take one taste at Holidays just to be nice but really want to gig at the sight of Sweet Potatoes. So I'm cruising the aisle at Sprouts and they have a taste and run. You are familiar with these at SAM'S. You taste and run before the poor person has a chance to give you the information about the product and try to get you to buy it. When you are at Sprouts of course its not your typical fried something but its something FRESH and LOW Calorie like Sweet Potatoes. I looked at the poor lady and she said..."I HATE SWEET POTATOES." We bonded immediately. Then there is a "BUT, you should try these" from my newly found friend at Sprouts. So just like on a holiday at home....I tried one. OMG it tasted good. So I get the facts on how to make it and buy one (1) sweet potato and head for another aisle.
Here is the recipe for Sweet Potato Fries. I now believe that I hated sweet potatoes because of the recipe of so much sugary sweetness with marshmallows, pineapples, nuts and all that stuff. I like them PLAIN.
1 Big sweet potatoes (peeled and sliced)
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp cinnamon (I put more just because)
Shake all together in a zip lock baggie then pure them out into a baking dish.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Bake 30 minutes. Your House will smell so good while these are baking.
TRY SOMETHING NEW THIS WEEK. YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED AND LIKE IT. I DID.

LOL YUM YUM-- I learned a similar recipe from Rachel Ray-- What you do is peel sweet potato and then cut into strips like you did-- you can add real potatoes also to the mix-- just wash and cut (don't peel) and then cut up an onion into the long rings cut into halves---
Put on cookie sheet- drizzle with olive oil liberally- and shake on Steak Seasoning! Broil 20 minutes-- My Family loves it-- they scarf those sweet potatoes 1st thing!! they even eat the onions-- even Jillian!
I AM SHOCKED.I NEVER THOUGH THIS DAY WOULD COME.I'M CRYING TEARS OF JOY.NOT ONLY DID YOU EAT SWEET POTATOES YOU WENT TO SPROUTS MY FAVE STORE-----NOW WE HAVE TO WORK ON THE SWEET PEA THING.LOVE YOU
Sweet potatoes make me gag big time. I don't believe you that these are good.
