Sweet Potato Fries with Sriracha Sauce

Sweet potato fries are nice, but add sriracha dipping sauce to make them phenomenal.

They are delicious.

Sweet and spicy are great flavor combinations.

Try these fries that are not fried at all.

You can make them crispier by making them thinner, but I prefer the softer fries.

Do not pile them or they will just steam and be clumpy.

This is another Bread and Wine recipe, which I will review this week.  Read it to nourish your body and soul.

Ingredients:
4 sweet potatoes
1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for oiling pans
sea salt

dipping sauce:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup ketchup
1 teaspoon sriracha sauce (You know I added more than that, though.)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees and put two rimmed baking sheets in the oven to warm up.

2. Peel and slice the sweet potatoes into long, thin batons - the thinner, the better. Pull the hot pans out of the oven and oil them, being careful not to burn yourself.

3.  Toss the sweet potatoes with olive oil, then line them up on the baking sheets so they are not touching or overlapping.

4.  Put both pans into the oven and bake for 10 minutes.  After 10 minutes, switch the pans and give them a shake while you are at it, turning the batons.

5.  Bake for another 6 to 10 minutes, depending on how crispy you would like them.  Remove when they start to become golden, but do not expect them to be completely crispy like deep-fried french fries.  If you do, you will overcook them.

6. Sprinkle with sea salt before serving.

7.  While the sweet potato batons are cooking, mix together the mayonnaise, ketchup, and sriracha in a small bowl.  Serve alongside warm fries.
