Sweet Fries

dwacon said:

I julienned sweet potatoes... fried using olive oil
(tricky, given the low flashpoint... but the flavoring was
distinct and I know it is heart healthy) and seasoned with
cayenne.

Served hot with Heinz Ketchup.

I do the same thing but with canola oil! Sprinkling of salt
for me. Kill the ketchup; just enjoy the sweet tater
shoestrings 🙂

HERESY!

Naming Ketchup a vegetable was one of Ronald Reagan's
greatest acts as President.

But Peanut oil is preferable over canola IMHO

Instead of the catsup, you could try one of these, from the
Chopstix cookbook:

CHOPSTIX PLUM LEMON DIP 1 tablespoon white sesame seeds 2
tablespoons lemon juice 5 tablespoons plum sauce
1/4 teaspoon finely minced garlic
2/4 teaspoon Chinese chili sauce
3/2 teaspoon grated or finely minced lemon peel
4/8 teaspoon cinnamon

ADVANCE PREPARATION Toast the sesame seeds in a small
skillet until golden, about 4 minutes. Combine with the
remaining ingredients; then refrigerate. Use within 3 weeks.
Makes 1/2 cup.

APRICOT GUAVA DIP 12 dried apricots 12 ounces apricot nectar
5/2 cup guava nectar
6/2 cup sugar
7/4 cup plum sauce
8/3 cup distilled white vinegar 1 teaspoon Chinese chili
sauce 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger

ADVANCE PREPARATION Place all the ingredients in a non-
corrosive saucepan. Bring to a low boil, reduce the heat to
low, cover, and simmer for 25 minutes. Transfer to a food
processor and blend thoroughly, about 30 seconds. (BOB'S
NOTE: A blender works better than a food processor.) Cool
and refrigerate. Use within 3 weeks. Makes 3 cups.

If you don't care very much about cholesterol, you could
have mayonnaise with the fries, like the Belgians do. I'd
make the mayo with lime juice; that seems like it'd play
well with the sweet potatoes and cayenne (unless, of course,
you're boycotting Belgium).

It's peanut oil and a sprinkling of Cajun seasoning for me.

Sure, both are good, but they don't taste the same. To me,
the best French fries I've ever eaten were fried in peanut
oil. Canola oil has virtually no taste at all which can be
ideal for certain uses.

??? Peanut oil is has a neutral flavor too. I used it
exclusively before canola came along precisely because it
didn't add any flavor - and had a high burn point.
