As their name implies, sweet potatoes can naturally add some sweetness to a meal, along with some color and added nutrients like beta-carotene. These sweet potato fries are perfect to pair with Blackened Chicken or Rib Eye Steak with Rosemary Butter. You’ll want to dip your fries in this honey butter, or let the butter melt over them right out of the Crisper Basket.
HACK IT: If you prefer crispier fries, you can skip using the Crisper Basket and lay the sweet potatoes in a single layer in the Cooking Pot. Just make sure they do not touch each other
