Don’t we all know how to bake sweet potato fries?
I normally use the usual oil and salt but that just wasn’t cutting it so on the hunt I went.
And ya kow, I gotta say, thank goodness for Paula Dean because she has turned such a simple recipe into a masterpiece. Truly.
Now I’m afraid with all this hype you might be a little disappointed when you see there is only one ingredient that changed everything regarding the sweet potato fry.
