I like to cut mine into skinny fries, so they get nice and crispy! I enjoyed these with the hint of sweet and the pungentness of the cumin. Mush enjoyed with a mayo-mustard dip.Made for KK's Chef's Pick. -
Great contrasting flavors here. I love sweet potato fries and this was a pleasing take on them. I enjoyed the contrast of sweet and spicy. I left the skin on my sweet potatoes and cut them into wedges (instead of thinner fries, as I would normally do). Great texture - crispy on the outside and soft/creamy on the inside. Thanks! ~Made for KK's Chef's Pick Tag~ -
Yummy! I loved everything about these taters! Easy to put together and they "fry bake" nice and crispy! I made Misa's recipe #383088 for dipping! Delicious! Made for KK's Chef's Pick Tag -
These have great flavor! I love cumin with anything, so these were right up my alley! I sprinkled some Smoked Paprikas on them and they really were fantastic! Thanks Misa, for some great fries! Made for Chef's Pick event at the forums in KK. -
Pretty darn good! I threw everything in a ziplock to mix together, that worked really well. This might sound gross to the rest of you, but ive been dipping mine in mayo, and its delish. Thanks fer posting!

I've been hanging around here for awhile, so I guess filling this part out is overdue...:oops: (6/09)
I am a teacher, married to a pretty swell fella, and have a spoiled rotten princess, er, I mean, cat.
I'm pretty eclectic with my passions - obviously cooking and eating being high on the list! I love to read (from cookbooks to horror/suspense to fiction, fantasy, sci-fi to nonfiction...if it's still long enough, I'll read it). I make beaded jewelry, mostly bead weaving, some stringing. Enjoy listening to most sorts of music - and it's a darn shame I can't dance, sing, or have any sort of rhythm. Computer geek at heart - I'm frequently on the net or playing games in my spare time. I also like drawing and writing, but I don't have as much time to do as much as I used to. I have amassed quite the Good Eats DVD collection (thanks to my DH.... and he's sweet enough to make sure I've picked up the plungers and dino squirt bottle along the way :D). And to complete the quintessential nerd profile, yes, I do read comics.
I couldn't pick a single favorite cookbook, but golly, I looove fundraiser cookbooks. Talk about tried and true! I tend to collect all sorts of cookbooks, most of them southern cooking. Guess I cook what I know.
If you ever try any of my recipes - thank you! I hope they tickle your tastebuds!
