Happy Thanksgiving everyone I know I Am a day early -
These are awesome! Tried it for a snack today, just used 1 sweet potato,but instead of using salt, I drained them on a paper towel, and dipped them on both sides in a small bowl of cinnamon sugar. I'm making a pork loin roast in my crock pot for dinner tonight and will definitely be making these for a side to go with it.

My mom had given me some sweet potatoes. I must admit, I have never eaten sweet potatoes. I wasn't sure if I should have peeled them but I didn't but wish I would have as I thought the skins were a bit tough. This was real good and easy to make. I followed the recipe as written. -
Am a big yam fan & these were so easy to make! Simple, yet tasty, too! Another time I want to fry them a little less, until they're not quite done, then use them as finger food! A very nice recipe, one worth keeping! [Made & reviewed as a bonus tag in AUS/NZ Recipe Swap, Mar 08]

Dipped them in a bowl of cinnamon sugar after draining the oil off instead of using salt. Yum!

<p>Thanks for taking the time to stop by My Page! I am married to a quiet, but fun loving guy who cleans up the kitchen!! I have grandchildren who I adore. I am retired from being a paralegal and a real estate agent. I have also been a substitute teacher for the elementary grades in the public school system. All of my recipes are the tried and true type. Many of them have come from my 48 years of cooking, my mother's recipe box or other relatives. I like Taste of Home magazine and I am a big fan of foodnetworkTV. I am a southern girl and enjoy comfort foods!!! I am a big cookbook collector and have been for years. I enjoy baking desserts most of all. I also enjoy games on my laptop, growing flowers, lunches with friends, babysitting grandchildren, photography and traveling. Since life is so short I try to count my blessings each day and give to the less fortunate. I had gotten into a rut on what to cook. Therefore, I am so happy I found the Recipezaar site. Pet Peeve: People with a negative attitude. MY RATING SYSTEM: 5 stars - Excellent in taste. May have minor change. 4 stars - Adjustment in ingredients for flavor. 3 stars - Fair, but not sure whether I would repeat. 2 and 1 stars - I do NOT give.
