Sweet Tater Fries

Say it with me..

“Sweet tater Fries”.

There you just had your first lesson is southern twang. We say Tater not Potato.

Now that you know how to say it…let’s get to cooking!

I got this recipe again from InspiredRD. I just love her.

Sweet Tater Fries

Ingredients:
-2-3 sweet potatoes
-Cooking spray
-Hungarian Paprika
-sea salt

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 500°F.

2. Wash and peel your sweet potatoes. I like to use a “garbage bowl” a la Rachel Ray when I am peeling and dicing things.
3. Cut each sweet potato in half, then in quarters. Slice these pieces about an eighth to a quarter inch wide. This is important! The thinner the slices, the better chance you have of them turning out crispy.

4. Spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray. Arrange your sweet potato slices onto your baking sheet, then lightly spray them with the cooking spray. This is also important. Too much oil will make your fries soggy. Sprinkle hungarian paprika and sea salt over the sweet potatoes.

5. Roast at 500°F for 15-20 minutes flipping halfway through. Be sure to keep your fries arranged in a single layer on the baking sheet. If the fries feel or look too dry while they roast, you can spray them with a little more oil. When they look nice and crispy, pull them out and enjoy!

These are awesome!!

Awesome!

Now..I didn’t go out and buy Hungarian Paprika just for this recipe…regular paprika works just fine so don’t think you gotta go buy a special spice for this recipe.

Try it out and let me know what you think!
