Spiced Sweet Potato Fries

These are, hands-down, the best sweet potato fries I've made. They are perfectly seasoned with just the right amounts of spicy and sweet. Hope you love them as much as my husband and I do!

Spiced Sweet Potato Fries

Ingredients:
4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled, sliced and cut into long thin slices
olive oil
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp coarse salt
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1-2 tbsp rosemary, fresh or dried (amount depends on your preference for rosemary)
1/4 tsp cayenne

Directions:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place cut sweet potatoes on baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Brush with olive oil. Sprinkle with all dry ingredients and toss slightly to ensure coverage.
Bake for about 15 minutes or until potatoes are cooked through. If you want your fries a little crispier place under broiler for about 1 minute or so after initial cooking, just make sure to watch closely so that your fries do not burn.

Roasted Potatoes

I adapted this recipe from one of Martha Stewart's recipes. It is super easy and oh so yummy! I served these with pan fried turkey breasts and peas.

Roasted Potatoes

Ingredients:
1/4 pound small yellow potatoes
2 tbsb olive oil
seasonings to taste

Directions:
Boil potatoes in a large pot of water and a dash of salt until potatoes are fork tender (~20 minutes)
Coat a rimmed cookie sheet with 1 tbsp of olive oil.
Drain potatoes and place on a cookie sheet.
Using a fork gently press down/smash each potato.
Brush the remaining olive oil over the tops of each potato.
Season with your favorite seasonings (I used a 20 blend seasoning mix from Costco...one of the best buys ever and some sea salt)
Bake in 450 degree oven for about 30-45 minutes or until potatoes are a golden brown color. The skin should be slightly crispy.
