These were wonderful! Loved the sweetness of the maple syrup and butter combo. Forgot to add the nutmeg but were a hit with the family.

These were incredible! I added some lime zest and made a lime ginger aioli to dip them in. Our whole family loved them.

Delicious - made this for supper tonight but skipped the oven & put them directly on the grill. They turned out great. A few on the back of the grill were slightly burned but they still tasted great! I love the combination of maple syrup & spices. This will be a summer time favorite. Thanks for sharing.

I julienned my potatoes to make them more like real french fries, and also stuck them under the broiler at the end to make them a little crispy. They remind me of some sweet potato fries we had while vacationing in Colorado--nice to be able to have them at home!

Great! I made these just as the recipe indicated and they turned out great. I will try to put them under the broiler next time to crisp them up a bit as King's cook suggested, but they were still a huge hit. Thank you!
