Recipe: Seasoned Sweet Potato Fries

Seasoned sweet potato fries

Do you want to get more sweet potatoes into your diet?

Sweet potatoes are a delicious and nutritious Superfood.  They are high in vitamin B6, they are a good source of Vitamin C and magnesium, and they also contain Vitamin D, Iron, and Potassium. Packed with nutrients, I have been trying to incorporate more sweet potatoes into our diets, but it has not been easy since they are not a favorite food in my family.

I was so excited when I discovered this recipe originally intended for russet potatoes.  My family loved it with regular potatoes, so I decided to try it with sweet potatoes as well, and it was a hit!!  I usually prepare this using a combination of sweet potatoes and russet potatoes.  I hope you enjoy it as much as my family does!  Enjoy!

Ingredients:

  • 3 Russet Potatoes (or 2 Russets and 1 Sweet Potato), quartered
  • 4 Tablespoons (1/4 cup) olive oil
