The color of these purple sweet potato fries is amazing. And so is the taste. Not at all like French fries, but a bit more sweet. It is amazingly easy to make and we prefer to bake them in the oven over deep frying them. Of course we get the potatoes from our own gardens. It is really easy it to make a healthy, delicious alternative to the frozen French fries in a bag you usually get served in Thailand.
