Burger and Fries

I love it when it gets warm outside that means: Its time to fire up the grill! I love a good "burger" and fries for a quick and easy weeknight meal. For my burger I really like the Boca line of meat less burgers (all except the cheese burger one). My favorite by far is the Bruschetta Tomato Basil Parmesan with melted cheese, mayo, and pickle relish. To spice up the normal I decided to try some sweet potato fries. Here is the recipe...

Sweet Potato Fries

What you'll need:
2 lb. assorted sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch-thick sticks
  • 1 Tbs. canola oil
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2  tsp. ground black pepper
  • 2 Tbs. potato starch

What to do:
1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper, or coat with cooking spray. Set 1 oven rack in top position and 1 rack in bottom position.
2. Toss together sweet potatoes, oil, salt, pepper, and cinnamon, if using. Sprinkle with potato starch; toss mixture once more to coat well. Arrange in single layer on prepared baking sheets. Bake 10 minutes.
3. Turn potatoes with spatula, and rotate baking sheets. Bake 12 minutes more, or until golden brown.



Serves 6

Notes:
*Be careful with cooking these I had trouble getting them to brown and not 'burn'
*Potato starch is a much- fries with out lacked the crunchiness
*Great to dip in bbq sauce
*Rating: 3/5
