I have my stepson bundled up like the Michelin Tire Man as I sweat profusely running along side of him, it is time for his maiden voyage into childhood as he learns to ride a bike. That stands in stark contrast to the memories I have of my dad teaching us to ride a bike, providing mainly a push as we ride like a charging Calvary into the side of the neighbor’s garage. Draped only in the cotton armor of shorts, a t-shirt, and a helmet of whatever amount of hair grew back since your latest cut, we dust ourselves off and hop back on to try it again.

Magic dust is a spice blend that balances the deep earthy flavors of cumin, black pepper, and paprika against the more pronounced flavors of cinnamon and cayenne pepper. The blend would probably be best compared to Arabian seasonings. But I just call it delicious.

I find the best dipping sauce for sweet potato fries is my . It makes the fries so bright and fresh tasting! Plus, it takes no time at all to whip up a batch!  If sour cream isn’t your thing, I recommend using a sweet BBQ sauce as an alternative.

Sweet potatoes can be a bit difficult to slice with a knife, even a sharp one.  That is why I love using my mandoline.  It makes quick work of the sweet potatoes and it ensures a consistent thickness, which will help everything cook more evenly.  If you are looking for a moderately priced quality mandoline, I’ve been really happy with my I highly recommend purchasing it if you don’t have one already.  You will be surprised how often you end up using it!

If you enjoyed reading my oven baked sweet potato fries recipe then you should probably and too. That’s what I would do at least, because if you don’t get to know me but you still use my recipe it is kind of like taking candy from a stranger, and your mom taught you not to do that.
