Mr. Mal is at the Celtics game tonight with his BBF (“Best Boyfriend Forever”), so it was just me for dinner tonight. I had purchased a couple of sweet potatoes this past weekend, so sweet potato fries were an easy menu decision!

I made sweet potato fries too!! I put cumin on mine though
@Mara: I almost added cumin, too! At the last second, I grabbed paprika!
love the “bbf” reference! so funny
great dinner. have a great night with your dvr 
I’ve made sweet potato fries, but never with cinnamon…sounds like a good suggestion
looks great! i love sweet potato anything! i always add cinnamon to my sweet potato.
wait … does this mean you will not be posting lunch when your new job begins??
I utilize the plastic bag method for so many things myself! Looks great – have fun with the DVR.
@lindsay: I’m not sure quite yet. I’m trying out a few different things to see what works best. Bear with me!
I’ve never thought of using a ziploc to properly season the SP fries! Great dinner – enjoy your date
oh wow-those look soooo goooood!!! i usually make sp disks…cut into cool disks i like to stack em!! u should try those too! but boy do those looks yummmmyy!! great post tina!!
Those fries look yummy. I actually bought some sweet potatoes to do this same thing. I will have to give these a try.
i love me some sweet potato fries! i’ll try adding cinnamon to them next time
have a great night with your hot dvr date
HOLY FREAKING YUM DELICIOUSNESS!!
Mmm cinnamon is such a good idea for the fries. I’ll definitely be trying that soon! You have such great ideas!
I wish I had a date with my DVR, unfortunately with all the recent tv repeats, there isn’t much on there to watch.
I discovered sweet potato fries back in college and haven’t looked back! They’re SO yummy.
This is like an ideal dinner for me! Josh doesn’t like sweet tatoes either (I think I told you this before)! Hope you have a great night
Yum! Love the cinnamon and paprika together!
Looks good! Whenever I try to make sweet potato fries, they end up really soft and squishy inside… almost in a gross way. Are yours more crispy, or really soft?
@Adi: More soft than crispy, but a tad crispy on the outside.
I looove sweet potato fries! I need to make the at home.
Your fries are a lot more uniform than mine when I try to cut then up… I need one of those fancy box cutters!
Tina, those look great! What temp do you set your oven on? I can never get mine the way I want them…
Oh yummy! I love sweet potato fries! Have a great night!
I can never get my sweet potato fries to look that good – jealous!
I love sweet potato fries!!! I’ve never had them w/ BBQ sauce though. I’ve also never tried the cinnamon paprika combo, delish!
Yum, thanks for reminding me I have been meaning to make sweet potato fries! Thankfully I can squeeze them into tomorrow’s dinner
Tina – These look great! I was thinking of those tonight as well. Enjoy your relaxing night!
The fries look amazing! I buy baked sweet potato fries at Pita Grill (a NY chain) but now I want to make them — even though I never cook!
Yum, these look great! I never ate sweet potatoes growing up, but I’ve recently discovered that they are delicious! I’ll definately try out your recipe.
Oooh, paprika! I always put cinnamon on mine because I like ‘em sweet but I’ve been thinking I need to experiment with savory next time. I think I will definitely try your seasoning method, too. Maybe I’ll add a little mustard? Haha, we’ll see.
dang, that plastic bag trick is probably a lot less messy than my method – i call it the “finger-rub”! haha, have a great thursday tina!
Awesome idea with the ziploc bag trick! Thanks!
And great eats! Love your delicious dinner!
You had me at fries…and homemade hummus…and DVR. BEST POST EVER! =)
Fries and salads are one of my very fav combos!
Tina do you have a mandoline? Those fries look perfectly cut.
@Scott: Nope, I’m just skilled with a knife!
@Tina: well done!
My man has a “bromance” as well with his friend Ben. I love it!
mmm – the sweet potato fries look great. like your spice combo!
I love sweet potato…especially in the form of homemade oven fries! I have never tried cinnamon on them, but it sounds pretty good. Will be trying this week!
did the fries turn out crispy or just soft?? i can never get my sweet pot fries to be crisp and everytime I fail hubby threatens to buy a deep fryer :-\ i am not amused and desperately do not want to rely on the bag of sweet potato fries from Trader Joes… thanks in advance!
I like the idea of eating a big old plate of fries for dinner.
@Sarah: Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside!
I made these last night and my boyfriend and I both LOVED them! Thank you!
Thanks – everyone in the family (young and old, picky and non-picky) LOVED these sweet potato fries. Plus the kids had a great time shaking them up. We included this in Jolly Tomato’s Fun Food Saturday (Whole Lotta Shakin’ edition) here: http://bit.ly/b1KhnP
i just got your sweet potato fries pix. for my product launching.. just for this subject purposes.. thanks. ^^
This recipe is really a wonderful treat to my kids. Never knew they’ll like it better than potatoes.
Just found this blog and sooo glad I have! I eat sweet pot chips all the time and have NEVER put any spices or herbs with them…. duh! think I will try tomorrow : )

Wow this sweet potato fries recipe looks really good. I have never made them at home yet but I fell in love with them on a vacation to Atlanta.
