Garnet Yam Fries

[unspeakablehorror]

I made some savory garnet yam fries and a savory garnet yam mash earlier, both of which I enjoyed greatly (fyi garnet yams are actually a type of sweet potato, not a type of yam). I like making savory foods with sweet potatoes, and I'm trying to figure out what recipes I like best.  I've heard sweet potatoes are pretty healthy so I want to eat more of them, but I actually don't find a lot of the simpler ways they're dessertified very appealing (and am often not willing to exert the effort to create the more complex recipes).  I also crave savory food more often than sweets, even if I do have a noticeable sweet tooth.

Ah, thanks! Always interesting to see more recipes! I would probably avoid the cinnamon as I associate it with dessert, especially when paired with sweet potato. I'd like to try coriandier on them sometime, though. That could be interesting. The spice blend I used for the things I mentioned in the post was garlic powder, paprika, and rosemary, which I felt was a good savory mixture. I baked the fries, which is how I usually make any kind of fries.

Putting them in a chowder is an interesting idea, and yeah, just cooking and eating them like a baked potato would probably work well, too. I seem to like the same spices in them that I've used on potatoes (I use garlic powder and paprika on potatoes a lot, and have used rosemary before on them too).

The sweeter recipes I'd be interested in are generally more complex than I feel up to, but if I was feeling up to it, I know I enjoy sweet potato pie, and I saw an intriguing sweet potato bread recipe earlier too.
