Do you have some uncooked sweet potatoes left over from Christmas? Not sure what to do with them? Make them into fries! This is so simple and easy, I am embarrassed to say I have never made this until a few years ago when a friend introduced this to me.
You can cut them long.
Or you can cut them short.
But, either way, you have a fast and easy side dish. Most kids like sweet potatoes and for some reason, putting them into stick form seems to go over better with the little ones.

YUM, we love fries at this house! Its something that everybody can always agree upon and the kids are always so happy 🙂 I need to get a new stone, ours was “pre allergy” 🙁 Ugg, still in the process of replacing things bit by bit 🙂

I tried these last night with my family and they were a hit, apart from my 5 year old who was my prime target. Still, very delicious even made on a cookie sheet. My 2 year old yummed them down as did my husband and I. A delicious and super-easy side dish I will be making again! Thanks!
I’m glad they turned out well and that it was mostly a hit. Thanks for coming by to tell of your experience!
