Sweet Potato Fries



One of the best treats at my house is fresh baked french fries. I usually blend 2 Yukon gold potatoes with 1 sweet potato for the perfect blend of gold and orange. I often make these if we are having company for dinner and I am making some sort of veggie patty. Recently we had them with Quinoa and Black Bean Burgers and they were quite popular. The hardest part is chopping all the potatoes, and that doesn't take too long. I usually fill a bowl about this size:



Then I add:

1. A dash of salt and pepper
2. About 1 Tablespoon of taco spice.
3. A drizzle of olive oil.

I stir the fries so that everything is coated and bake them at 425 degrees for about 25 minutes. Be sure to flip them about half way through!

They are always a little limp and they are not crisp like fried french fries, but they are very tasty and there are rarely leftovers.

I'm a big fan of these fries. I would make some tomorrow, but I just bought a nice butternut squash.
