Sweet Potatoes Home Fries – 3 WW Pts
My mother in law gave me a recipe a while ago for sweet potato fries. We like those, but this recipe is SO much better! I was a little worried about the combination of oregano and sweet potatoes, but it’s so good. We eat these at least once a week.
One tip that I read somewhere is to microwave the potato for a minute or so (be sure to poke some holes). Nuking the sweet potato makes it easier to cut.
Sweet Potato Home Fries (by ME!) – 3 WW Pts – 2 servings
1 large sweet potato – cubed
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
2 tsp Oregano
2 tsp olive oil
Heat oven to 375. Mix all ingredients in a bowl and stir until potato cubes are well coated.
Pour into glass or metal pan – make sure you have a single layer of potato cubes. Bake 30-45 minutes (depending on the size of the potato) until crispy.

What a great idea to freeze the excess chipotle chiles! Much less waste, and perfectly portioned. I do freeze buttermilk in 1/2 cup increments because I never use up the whole carton when I buy it.

Oh I’ve never frozen dairy before. Does it defrost well?
It does get a little curdled looking but I only use it for baking cakes. I haven’t noticed any discernible difference in texture or flavor in the resulting cakes.

Good to know. I’ll have to keep that in mind because I never use the whole carton either. I tend to just make my own buttermilk with milk + vinegar but sometimes I buy it then struggle with how to use it all.
i like adding in a not traveling to the rotation! might have to employ that one here 🙂

It was seriously one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. We’ve done a variety of things on our holidays where we don’t travel.
Hey Jen! I JUST made these potatoes and posted them today. Alton Brown knows his stuff right? Then I saw your picture on pinterest and was like hm I wonder if that’s the same recipe…? Great minds think alike! I added green onions and bacon to mine, because, well, bacon makes everything better. Right? 🙂 Great post! http://thefoodcharlatan.com/2013/11/22/chipotle-sweet-potatoes-with-bacon/

Bacon definitely makes everything better. Great minds do think alike!
