Poor sweet potatoes. Am I the only one who feels that this vegetable tends to get pigeonholed? I mean don’t get me wrong, we all love the traditional sweet potatoes that we have at Thanksgiving. But, they can also be so much more! I love sweet potatoes! I love them roasted, whipped, and even cut into fries! For me they have a wonderful natural sweetness that can stand on its own.
When we set out to create the perfect sweet potato fries recipe, we want to go more savory then sweet. We cut the sweet potatoes thick, tossed them in coconut oil, and sprinkled them with fresh rosemary. WOW are they good. They have a great depth of flavor that you just cant get from a white potato. Now that I have tried these fries I will never go back to the traditional white potato kind!
