Sweet Potato Fries & Other Mild Obsessions....

  I said mild. But if I am eating the                           
same food for breakfast, lunch & dinner
has it crossed from mild obsession to 
strong obsession? 

I have tried making these a couple ways.
But here's my preference:

1. cook the potatoes. mine took 1 hr. @350
2. let them cool, unless of course you like having 
    your hands on fire.
3. peel them and slice them into long strips, or short,
    your choice.
4. heat olive oil over medium heat and toss a small
    amount of potatoes in. fry. 
   remove when crispy & golden,
   & add more to the pan.
5. have a deeper dish waiting with paper towel
    to hold the fries. i use one that can be covered 
    with a lid to hold in heat.
6. sprinkle generously with sea salt & consider serving
    with aioli. 

 Speaking of other mild obsessions I am going
to attempt to make homemade peanut butter cups. I have
been thinking about them for days.  I have not found organic
chocolate, yet, but my goal is to make a completely organic 
peanut butter cup.  I guess the fact that I have laid in bed
visualizing myself eating one, means this too has pushed past
"mild".

  1. I just bought some sweet potatoes, now I know what to do with them , thanks.
    Mmm, peanut butter cups, I did not make any "buckeyes" this year, therefore I must have a chocolate/peanut butter deficit. Must have, must have, must have...
    Do share the recipe when you are happy with it!

  2. Joanne, I will! Still looking for the right ing. Meijer's has been out of their organic/naturals graham crackers for weeks (graham crackers are in many of the recipes i've read thru).

    Just curious - have you ever made Tres Leches Cake?

  3. Ok soaking the raw fries in hot water for 10 min. makes it possible to skip the entire frying process so you can simply bake these in the oven til crisp.
