ingredients
-
For the chipotle ranch dressing
- 177.44 ml mayonnaise (low fat is fine)
- 177.44 ml sour cream (low fat is fine or replace half with Greek yogurt)
- 2-3 chipotle peppers (canned with 1 tbsp sauce)
- 14.79 ml lime juice
- 1 bunch chives
- 1 handful cilantro
- 2.46 ml salt
- 1.23 ml pepper
- 0 c- 1/2 c buttermilk (optional)
- 44.37-59.16 ml coconut oil (any oil)
-
For the sweet potato fries
- 453.59 g sweet potato (2 medium, no longer than 5 or 6 inches long)
- 4.92 ml dried ancho chile powder
- 9.85 ml chili powder
- 2.46 ml cumin
- 2.46 ml ground coriander
- 0.61 ml garlic powder
- 0.25 ml cinnamon
- 0.25 ml salt
- 0.25 ml pepper
directions
- To make dressing: Place all ingredients except the buttermilk in the blender. Blend for 10 seconds. Check consistency and blend in buttermilk (less buttermilk for dipping, more for dressing). Store in an air-tight jar in the fridge for a week or more.
- To make the fries: Coat a baking sheet with 3 tablespoons of oil, adding the last tablespoon if necessary.
- Peel and slice the sweet potatoes into 1/4 inch sticks (no longer than 5 inches long).
- In a large zipper bag mix the dry spices together. (I skipped the zipper bag and mixed everything in a large bowl). Add the sweet potato fries and shake the fries to coat evenly (I added a tad bit of oil to the fries in the bowl and the spices stuck nicely).
- Carefully put the fries onto the baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Turn on the broiler for the last 1 to 2 minutes, just until the tips of the fries begin to turn black. Don't walk away--they can burn in no time.
- Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate in a single layer until ready to serve. (I also skipped the paper towel because they weren't greasy and I thought it was unnecessary. Plus they disappeared so fast that was a pointless step in my opinion.).

I love to try new recipes, and this is a wonderful site to find new additions. I rarely make the same thing twice because it's so much fun to try something different. My life long dream is to travel the world and eat my way around it.
