Sweet Potato Fries! - Phase One

jenne1017 · 10-04-2006, 05:23 PM

2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled.
1 Tbsp. olive oil
¼ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. freshly ground pepper

1. Preheat oven to 450F. Halve potatoes and cut into ½ inch wedge. Toss with the oil, salt and pepper in medium bowl.
2. Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on a nonstick baking sheet. Bake, turning once until browned and crip. About 35-40 minutes. Serves 4.

** This tastes great with plain yogurt mixed with a squirt of lime juice for a dip.

i just started sbd on monday but I thought sweet potatoes were a forbidden phase 1 food?

jenne1017 · 10-04-2006, 06:58 PM

this is Fat Smash, not SBD!!!

but yes, they are a veggie and are allowed (they are not a white potato)

Mmm..That sounds great, especially with some yogurt.

i made these the other night...instead of wedges i made them into matchstick size. they got crunchy and took a lot less time to cook. a little salt and evoo...i thought they were AWESOME!

yummy! how did you slice them so thin????

i just got a thicker potato (more like an idaho potato shape) - peeled it, cut it width-wise (about 1/4 inch) and then cut those "medallions" into strips.

definitely needs a sharp knife are much CARE.

These are fabulous! I can't say enough good things about them. I, too, sliced them into matchsticks and served the yogurt-lime sauce (with a few dashes of hot sauce because I can't help myself). I had a hard time not sneaking them out of the oven! Served them as a side with a veggie burger patty and oven-roasted asparagus and my sweetie said, "Well, if we eat like THIS every night I'm not going to have any problems!" Thanks so much, Jenn!

These fries are awesome. I put a little garlic salt on them before I cooked them and they turned out great. We thought we weren't going to like them but they are great. Thanks for the recipe.

This was awesome! I sprayed it with Pam instead of the EVOO and only put Garlic Salt rather than what the receipe stated though!

This was sooooo good and too me was just like eating chips! I encourage everyone to try this it really is worth it!

Are sweet potatoes and yams the same thing?? a lady told me they were at the store but i was not convinced so i didnt buy them

judyo · 11-06-2006, 10:07 PM

True yams are found mainly in South America or somewhere like that. What you saw in the store are probably sweet potatoes (usually have an orange colored flesh).

PascalRenee · 11-07-2006, 12:27 PM

Yes they are basically the same thing. We call them YAMS down her in South Louisiana (some people even call them sweet potatos).

I purchased both of them and they are the same thing just grown in different parts of the coutry (I beleive)
