A few of my purple sweet potatoes were not as marketable as the others - so I decided to use them for dinner. Ever had purple sweet potato fries?

They were pretty easy to cut up and cook. I would have to say that the purple sweet potatoes are not usually as sweet as their orange cousins but I sure felt healthy after eating them.

As the photos show, my children enjoyed eating the sweet potatoes too. There is something to say about growing vegetables your children will eat. For some reason cooking home-grown vegetables for my family gives me much more satisfaction than preparing and cooking store-bought produce.

| Yum! |
One of my favorite things is Sweet Potato Fries...love the look of the purple ones
ReplyDeleteThanks Donna!
DeleteI always enjoy your responses.
You could make crisps too if you shaved them with a potato peeler.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the idea, B-a-g! I actually did price mandoline slicers last fall when I had almost 400 pounds of squash.
DeleteHow fun! My kids love regular sweet potato fries. I'll bet they would enjoy purple ones too!
ReplyDeleteKids are more adventurous than us old timers. Just the fact that they are PURPLE french fries guarantees they wouldn't get past my teeth. I saw an interesting (much safer) version of a mandoline on that nomorerack.com and the price was right.
ReplyDeleteHa - I'm sure you would enjoy the taste, though. I'll look into that mandoline - thanks for the suggestion.
