When I was a kid, my mom used to make sweet potato fries as a change from the regular fries. My sister and I would eat them almost as fast as she could make them!

I've tried McCains brand, and the store brand. They're both pretty good for processed.

You could always try making your own from real sweet potatoes. That's even better!  :D

I have tried them and don't really care for them.  I prefer my sweet potato baked with butter and brown sugar.

I tried sweet potatoes fries and like them a lot. I prefer to have them alone as a snack so I can enjoy the taste.

I like them deep fried, but then i like sweet potatoes any way you can fix them. Sweet potatoe pie is better then pumpkin and i also use them to make pumpking bread also. And they are good for you too.

My husband went to the store and picked up a pack of sweet potato fries by mistake.  I cooked them and did not care much for them.  I have a reason; I am used to having sweet potatoes baked, like my late grandmother did with the peeling on them.  I ate them with butter after I sliced the potato in the middle.  My husband is a fan of yams (sweet potatoes cooked on top of the stove).  He likes to eat them with fried pork chops.  To me, sweet potato fries don't have much of a taste to them. ??? :o :wave:

Yam fries are pretty good. I actually like them. They’re already naturally sweet so ketchup is not necessary. I don’t really consume much fried starch, but I have sampled a little of it to know they’re good compared to French fries.

Totally love them, I found the frozen kind already seasoned & you just nuke it & you got it! Using the toaster over is good too. I recommend oerida's. It's not the sweet potato, it usually the way it's cooked that is the key. :thumbsup: :wave:

Sweet potato fries can be pretty awesome, but not all fries are created equal.  Apparently there are variations in the recipes (or the cooks) which make a vast difference in the way they taste.  One restaurant with especially good SPFs dusted them with sugar and cinnamon...yum!  Others I have eaten were not as "dessert-y" but still were very tasty, and others were not good at all.  SPFs are more nutritious than regular French fries.

They are awesome. even the store brand, sometime to make them a little different I sprinkle them with sugar and a cinnamon.

Sweet potato fries can be delicious, especially with cinnamon sugar.  Like most other foods, they are best made fresh, not the frozen variety.

I love them! I make them at home by cut them up and baking them. My husband does not care for them so I make regular old fries for him. Yum!

They're alright but I still prefer regular French fried potatoes.

I no longer eat potatoes of any kind. I don't think I would have like them any way though since I didn't like sweet potatoes to begin with.

I love sweet potato fries!! They are really tasty. I like the regular sweet potato fries. but I know a lot of people who like them with cinnamon sugar on them.

Post by: coreyw87 on July 01, 2013, 11:22:42 am
I have tried them twice - once I liked them a lot and the other time didn't like them at all so I guess its how they are made and who makes them.  I don't eat fries of any kind very much so its not something I would eat very often anyway.

Sweet potato fries are wonderful and I tried them in Wisconsin, however, they serve them with sour cream...

I personally dont like sweet potato fries, nor do I like regular sweet potatoes or sweet potato pie lol. But I see the fries are getting pretty popular, theyre showing up in many restaurants
Title: Re: Has anyone tried sweet potatoe fries
Post by: hotcocoa on July 01, 2013, 01:04:05 pm
I tried them, but not crazy about them.  They were thicker and softer than regular fries, probably how they were cut.  I know they are healthier, but I'd rather eat none than them. :confused1:

Post by: pkrahmer on July 01, 2013, 01:22:58 pm
If I have a choice I will always have sweet potato fries I love them! I think they have more flavor. I do prefer thin cut fries rather then the thick cut ones. I try not have them to ofen because to me they are very addicting! :wave: :peace:

my son can't stand them, but then again he doesn't like sweet potatoes in any fashion. lol.  I love them though.  they're also a lot better for you!
Title: Re: Has anyone tried sweet potatoe fries
Post by: rozphillips on July 01, 2013, 02:35:12 pm
I think it depends on who prepares the sweet potato fries.  Sweet potato fries can be delicious, but again, you have to make sure they are prepared in a way that they are delicious.
Title: Re: Has anyone tried sweet potatoe fries
Post by: tea4me on July 01, 2013, 03:58:15 pm
I think sweet potato fries are almost better than regular fries.  I was on a diet once that was very restrictive and regular potatoes were a big no-no.  Sweet potatoes were allowed, so I learned to like the sweet potato fries that are now almost as common as regular fries.  I've always loved sweet potatoes anyway, so it wasn't hard to enjoy these.

Awesome food!! These have been around in my area since I was a kid, glad to see that the rest of civilization is catching on to this delightful dish! ;D

I think I tried them one time, but since I'm not a fan of sweet potatoes, it's not something I would eat very often.

Sweet potato fries isn't new.  My mom prepared those for us when we were kids.  And that was a lot of years ago.
Title: Re: Has anyone tried sweet potatoe fries
Post by: ShadeTree on July 02, 2013, 11:44:11 pm
I tried some about a year ago and I didn't like them. They weren't quite what I was expecting, but I also didn't quite know what to expect so.... Anyway, they weren't all that bad but I didn't enjoy them. If I had to eat them again, I guess I would if I had something to eat them with like barbecue sauce or ketchup, maybe melt some shredded cheese on them.

Yes, most definitely....love them...and I'm not a fan of sweet potatoes, but sweet potatoe fries are yummy!
Title: Re: Has anyone tried sweet potatoe fries
Post by: rainman306 on July 03, 2013, 03:44:40 pm
Yes, they are good -- but with all kinds of fries they need to be well cooked, crispy (not sitting out to long) and not oversalted or overseasoned.  I am kinda a french fry snob.
Title: Re: Has anyone tried sweet potatoe fries
Post by: cathy37 on July 05, 2013, 07:26:09 pm
Yes.  As a matter of fact I had some with my dinner tonight.  They are good and you can buy them in the frozen potato section of your grocery store.

I think they are really good. They're healthy too high in fiber :)

Post by: sgluckadoo on July 05, 2013, 10:29:59 pm
I have at various places. Some are better than others, but in general, I really like them. there is one little diner I go to that has them with cinnamon and sugar, so good. Probably ruins the health benefits once fried with sugar on them, but yummmmmy.

  yes, I have tried sweet potatoe fries...had them a few times actucally! and I do like them a lot, but given a choice, I think I like regular french fries better  :thumbsup:
Title: Re: Has anyone tried sweet potatoe fries
Post by: lynnc35 on July 06, 2013, 01:12:50 am
No, but I heard the opposite that they were good, probably who makes them and how they are made always makes a difference.

The sweet potato fries at Burger King are awesome and I've bought them to make at home too.  I did mine in the oven and make a honey mustard sauce to dip them in.  They're good!

Post by: gaylasue on July 06, 2013, 04:39:33 am
Sweet potatoes are my favorite vegetable but by the time I get through "doctoring" it up, it's more like a dessert.  I love lots of butter and brown sugar on my sweet potatoes.  I have tried sweet potato fries out in restaurants but they put salt on them.  I don't care for salt on my sweet potatoes.  I buy the sweet potato fries to fix at home but I put butter and brown sugar on them, also.
