Ever do sweet potato fries?
 

Sweet potatoes are apparently one of the most nutritious things you can ingest. They're a great carb & calorie packed. Recently I've gotten into baking them as fries. I cover them in EVOO, bake them at 350 for 30 minutes... and it's near perfection.

Know what I'm talkin' about? ;)

I have no idea, sounds tasty though!

Yep, those rock. I also sprinkle a little diced rosemary over them.

hell yes way way way better than normal fires!

Yep. Sometimes with salt, sometimes with cinnamon and sugar.

I did a little garlic salt tonight. I'm not sure what the rosemary would taste like... what's it like?

I haven't had them that way but it's probably delicious. I buy the sweet potato chips at Trader Joes here. They taste pretty good.

Haven't tried yet...

Rachel Ray has corrupted you :(

Garlic salt is another great thing to put on them.

I put just a little bit of rosemary on them and it gives them kind of an herb flavor that is pretty subtle.

LOL you figured me out.

sounds delicious, gotta try it one day

I have a fryer here in one of the kitchens. We love to make fried sweet potatoes.

Yams (the orange ones) are what we use. They're sweeter and tastier than the more yellower Sweet Potato.

I'm sure it's good tasting, but heck, if they are nutritious etc you kind of ruin that with frying the shit don't you :)

I make them out of Yams as well, they are great:thumbsup

Fuck yes, and they are great!

Love sweet potatoes in any way other than raw :)

hey what's EVOO?

Love em. One of my favorites. My daddy used to make these for me all the time.

I cook them basically the same way, but if you're in a hurry, you can also spray them with Pam cooking spray (I use the butter flavor) and bake them.

extra virgin olive oil

Sounds interesting,pictures would be cool.

They're really good with honey mustard dipping sauce.

We buy them frozen at the local BJ's. Also make sweet baked potatoes.

They are delicious and the kids love them too...

I'm hungry now. :)

I am going to pick up some sweet taters and try making some baked fries one night. Sounds tasty!

I wanna see pic/s of your dish.

Of a french fry?

Oh, sweet potato fries are always a great treat!

Sweet potatoes fried are great. I always fry some when I fry the regular ones. It's cool to have a mix set of sweet and regular potatoes fried in the same plate. lol ;)

If you mean have sex with them, then thats a big YES!

I have had them as baked fries, fried clean, and tempura style... all were amazing and I order them on any menu I see them on

No doubt they are delicious as tempura!:thumbsup

I have some sweet potato casserole in the fridge right now. Prior to that I had some home made baked sweet potato chips. :)

oh yeah...when i do a turkey deep fry..i always cut up some sweet potatoes and regular potatoes....deep fried fries are the best

Oh man I gotta try that.

I use yams and do them baked with a little olive oil, black pepper and fresh grated parm cheese...

I use this for frying them up :thumbsup

Yes, and they are best when topped with sour cream! Mmmm YUM!

i was like wtf :helpme will it cause cancer :1orglaugh

i baked those the other night with extra virgin olive oil and garlic salt. tasty stuff :thumbsup

I have never tried them deep fried but It happens I slice them up and grill them with salt, black pepper and garlic/sweet chili marinade.

sure have, they rock :thumbsup

regarding extra virgin olive oil, i never ever cook with it. it ruins the oils flavor and is a waste of money. i spend good money on extra virgin olive oil and it is used only as a finishing oil, salad dressing, or other cold applications where you want its intense flavor.
when it comes to cooking and olive oil we just use straight olive oil, no extra virgin. it is about half the cost and has the same health benefits as extra virgin and since cooking kills the oils flavor it tastes the same.
though we fry our stuff in peanut oil and use a lot of avacado oil.

oh i almost forgot. i love sweet potato fries. we make a mixed batch of fries on burger night. it contains russet potato, sweet potato or yams, carrot, and my absolute favorite parsnips.
parsnips seriously rock and are super good for you. very high in vitamins and they turn very sweet. really think it is one of the most underrated vegetables that once was popular and got lost in the past somehow.

I use parsnips in soups mostly, love them as well:thumbsup

I know a guy from Chicago who works the Midwest County and State Fairs. He does deep fried spiral cut whole sweet potatoes and they are a fantastic hit everywhere he goes. He has several condiments at his stand. Salt, various peppers, garlic, powdered sugar, cinnamon etc, etc.

He also does deep fried spiral cut whole Russets and Vidalias. One potato totally buries a 10" paper plate, at least 8" high. People line up to get them. That's all he sells, there's only 3 items on the menu :upsidedow
