Dilly sweet potato fries w creamy dill + garlic mayo


Dilly sweet potato fries w creamy dill + garlic mayo (baked and delicious)

I make these often (my often is twice a week). They are melt in your mouth awesome. 

Sometimes the grocery store will label yams-sweet potatoes, or vice versa. I use whatever and they are both equally delicious.

If you're wanting to get a nice crispy bake to your homemade fries, it's best to cut them into desired size and soak in water for up to 24 hours. I let mine soak for about three hours chilling in the fridge. 

Here's what you need:
4 medium size sweet potatoes
2 tbs olive oil
1 tbs course sea salt
1/3 cup of fresh dill (chopped)
+ optional: cloves of garlic (the amount you use is up to you. I stink up a storm using an entire head of cloves) and love adding cherry tomatoes to the sheet when flipping mine the first time. 



Prep your baking sheet with aluminum foil and preheat oven to 425.

Peel, soak, and dry your potatoes. Cut them in half and then into half inch sticks.

Toss in a bowl with garlic, oil and dill. Coat evenly.

Bake for 20-25 mins and then add cherry tomatoes (toss in same bowl so they are lightly coated in oil as well).






Add sea salt and bake for another 15-20 mins.




Creamy Dill + Garlic Mayo 

1/2 cup mayo

1/4 cup freshly chopped dill
Juice from half a lemon

2 cloves of garlic (pressed)

Mix together and chill for 30 mins before serving.

You should have enough dill mayo left over to use on your sandwich the next day.

Don't plan on kissing anyone for a few hours? Add an extra clove of garlic. At the very least, I will still be your friend. Enjoy!
