DJ and I are not fans of sweet potatoes. Eating it like a baked potato with butter and brown sugar? NO THANKS. Or all baked up with marshmallows on top for Thanksgiving dinner? NAH.

But we both agreed the other night that these fries were really great in all their simplicity. I liked mine dipped in ketchup. Liam even really enjoyed them and he doesn't really eat anything these days. I felt pretty happy about how healthy they are. We'll definitely be making these more often.
