Sweet Potato Fries

My three biggest meals of the year fall on Thanksiving, Christmas Eve, and finishes with New Year’s Eve. My favorite is our menu planning for New Year’s Eve’s junk feast.

Yes, junk feast.

Our family loves appetizers, so for our end of the year celebration, we go all out on finger food. We make mini tacos and taquitos for the men in the house,  cut up summer sausage and cheese, slow cook bbq meatballs, bake crab ragoons and crab stuffed mushrooms among other yummy stuff.

Can’t forget dessert, with chocolate cupcakes and oreo balls and mini cherry cheesecakes.

(I really like to go out with a bang with the calories, because it’s back to my healthy diet after the first. )

This year, I want to throw in a snack that is made from one of my favorite foods, sweet potatoes. Now, I have to tell you, I’m probably the only one in the house who eats sweet potatoes, but I’m hoping to get the kids to at least try these before they automatically turn up their noses.

I really don’t know why child wouldn’t like a potato that you can put marshmallows and brown sugar on??

Sweet potato fries are very easy to make, and even though I can’t smother them in butter and marshmallows (or, can I?), I love them as fries and like to include them with my lunch in the afternoons.
