Indian Spiced Sweet Potato Fries with Curry Aioli

If there is a constant in my life then it would be that I love sweet potatoes. These fries are great as a side dish or appetizer. There is a nice sweet & savory thing happening. Curry lends itself nicely to a bit of sweet as does cardamom, garam masala and of course cinnamon.

Sweet Potato Fries
1

Pre heat oven to 425˚F with the racks in the middle. Prepare 2 half sheet pans (cookie sheets) with parchment or Silpat liners. Combine ghee (butter) with curry powder, cardamom, garam masala and cinnamon. Put sliced sweet potatoes on cookie sheet and toss with arrowroot powder. Drizzle butter mixture over the top of the potatoes and combine well with your hands. Sprinkle with some garlic salt and pepper. Toss again.

2

Lay sweet potatoes out in a single layer with a small amount of space in between the potatoes. They need to have some breathing room so they do not steam. Bake for 15 minutes. Flip each fry with a pair of tongs and cook for another 10-15 minutes.
