Sweet Potato Fries with Cilantro and Garlic

If you love potatoes as much as I do, you will love these! As we all know, sweet potatoes are healthier than white potatoes (although I love white potatoes a lot more!)… so, I made these but with a super delicious topping of garlic and cilantro. The smoked paprika provides a kick and amazing flavor… try these next time you crave amazing potatoes!

• 3 to 4 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges

Add the wedges and water to a saucepan. Bring to a boil and drain the wedges on a paper towel.

• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
• Lined cookie sheet

Preheat oven to 450 degree F.

Transfer the wedges to the cookie sheet. Add the oil, salt and smoked paprika. Mix well and roast till the wedges are golden brown and crisp- about 20 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and mix in the topping before serving.

Topping

• 3 garlic cloves, grated
• ½ cup cilantro, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt

Mix the garlic and cilantro in a small bowl and add to hot fries. Mix well and serve.
