Ode to the Sweet Potatoe

Growing up I thought of sweet potatoes in an "mah...ok at Thanksgiving only" kind of way. No longer do I have that sort of apathy towards the Vitamin A & C packed wonder root. According to one expert, "the sweet potato was widely cultivated in colonial America, where it often provided chief means of sustenance for early homesteaders. As one colonial physician put it, the sweet potato was the "vegetable indispensable"" (Wellness Encyclopedia). All that being said...below is one of my new favorite recipes.

Sweet Potato Fries

1 Sweet potato
1 Apple
Cinnamon Sugar
Olive Oil
Sea Salt
Nutmeg

1. Preheat oven to 375
2. Cut the sweet potato & apple into frie like pieces.
3. Lightly cover in olive oil.
4. Generously sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
5. Season with a bit of salt.
6. Throw on a dash of nutmeg.
7. Toss all ingredients till fries are evenly covered.
8. Cook for approximately 30 minutes - or until soft & browned.

The sweet potatoes become almost carmely and the apples add a sweet/sour taste to the dish. Because I was experimenting I do not have the exact measurements hence the words dash & bit. Enjoy!
