I happen to LOVE sweet potatoes. They are sweet and delcious- what better way to enjoy them then to make baked fries with them? This is exactly what I did a couple of weeks ago. The CSA we get much of our produce from had given us a bag of sweet potatoes and I went searching for a recipe to use them up and found this one. I have to start by saying that this is so simple there really is no excuse not to try them. The hardest part was cutting the potatoes into matchsticks, but even that didn't take too long. Once the potatoes are all cut up you simply toss them in some olive oil, balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, cinnamon, and sea salt. Then you bake them at 400 degrees for about 30 minutes (flipping halfway through). I have to make a confession- I was a little scared about the balsamic vinegar and cinnamon- I wasn't really sure that these would go well together, but boy was I wrong! These potatoes are delicious! They are the perfect balance of savory, tangy, and sweet- a homerun! This will be my go-to recipe for sweet potato fries. Sweet potatoes are in season right now- so go on- buy some and try out these fries!
My rating- 9.5
