Baked Sweet Potato Fries

We had some friends over for dinner last night and decided to try and make a healthier version of burgers and fries.  We opted for turkey burgers with home made guac and decided to pair it with one of my favorite sides... baked sweet potato fries. 

Baked Sweet Potato Fries ( Modified recipe original from daddy)
Ingredients:

1 large sweet potato 
handful of fingerling potatoes 
Dash of Balsamic vinegar 
Olive Oil 
Sea salt and pepper 
Tony's Chachere Spice 

1. Dice up Sweet potatoes and fingerling into long strips 
2. In a bowl with potatoes add a dash of balsamic and enough oil to get the potatoes damp 
3. Add plenty of salt and pepper and LOTS of chachere ( it gives it a really good spicy tang) 
4. Put potatoes on baking sheet ( make sure they are not crowded since you want to make sure they can get a little crispy)
5. Put in oven for 45 min at 375 turning potatoes every 15 min or so to avoid burning. 


It's super yummy and way better than the fried version :)
