Sweet Potato Curry Fries

I used to live in Omaha, NE.  You may know this city as the, "Paris of the Plains."  The town is charming, the people are great, and the food is really, really good.  My senior year of college a place called, Amsterdam opened in my favorite neighborhood.  The menu is simple.  They serve falafel, kabobs and curry fries.  The best part is that they are open even after bar close.  Many nights we would find ourselves licking our yellow fingers clean of curry at 3AM only to wake up the next morning smelling like we had taken the red eye to the EU and back.

Once I moved back to Minneapolis, I would still get that craving for those curry fries.  So below is my attempt to recreate a slightly healthier version.  Hope you enjoy!




Baked Sweet Potato Curry Fries


2 TBSP ground cumin
2 TBSP ground curry
2 TBSP chili powder
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp cloves
2 TBSP olive oil
kosher salt/ fresh pepper to taste
4 sweet potatoes

To make:
Preheat oven at 400 degrees
Peel sweet potatoes and cut into almost thin discs.  Throw them in a bowl and coat with olive oil.  Once coated spread with spices and then lay out on a baking sheet ensuring that none of the potatoes are overlapping.


Bake for 15 minutes on one side, flip and back for another 15 minutes over until they start to caramelize on both sides.


I just love everything about this recipe!
