SWEET POTATO FRIES

  • 1 cup Pretzels crumbs (or other cracker crumbs) **
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 2 gallon ziploc bags
  • Olive oil spray
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise

  • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp salt ***
  • 2 Tablespoons fresh basil, chopped

Instructions

SWEET POTATO FRIES

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degree. Prepare pan with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk egg whites until frothy, pour into 1 of the gallon ziploc bags. PLace cut fries into bag and slosh around, covering all fries in egg white mixture. Set aside.
  3. Place pretzel crumbs (or other crumbs) into the other gallon ziploc bag.
  4. Place a handful of fries from the egg white bag to the pretzel crumb bag. Toss fries until fully covered in pretzel crumbs. Lay flat on cookie sheet. Repeat until all sweet potatoes are covered and on the parchment paper.
  5. Spray with olive oil spray. Bake for 20 min or until crispy on outside and a fork can pierce through.

BASIL SALT & GARLIC MAYONNAISE/GREEK YOGURT

  1. Mix chopped basil and salt together in small dish to sprinkle over fries once done.
  2. Mix mayo, greek yogurt and garlic in another small dish for dipping.

Notes

*  Can use a mixture of potatoes or sweet potatoes, yams and purple potatoes. Any combination.

** CRUMBS: I have used a mixture of pretzels and graham crackers, very kid friendly as you can imagine, can also use ritz crackers, only pretzels, TJ’s gorgonzola crackers…etc. Kids love it all. Can also just bake without any crumbs.

*** Depending on the salt content of the crumb mixture. Don’t skimp on the basil.
