Thanks and glad to hear, Eric. I do have a recipe for Sweet Potato Fries in Veggie Burgers Every Which Way. Because they don’t have the same starch content you don’t have to rinse them—and in fact, I find they work best if you toss them in a little bit of potato or corn starch along with the oil, salt, at spices, which gives them an extra crispy skin. Then it’s the same method: high heat, stir frequently, eat hot!

Your Amazing Lucas – - – -
We all loved your recipe for the oven baked french fries, they were just plain rollin. Everyone enjoyed them, and wanted the recipe from me. Naturally I told them to look up your website as well as telling them the basics.
Question – Have you ever come up with a good ‘Sweet Potato’ french fry recipe? We’ve tried deep frying them of coarse, as well as baking them. They taste good, however all we ever seem to come up with are (limp sticks) of sweet potato. Couldn’t find anything on your site about sweet potatos at all. Down here in the Deep of the South of South Louisiana, we love our baked sweet potatos and know how to cook them as a whole potato. Just no one seems to know how to cook crispy sweet potato fries.
Any ideas of how to make them crispy and still retain their naturally wonderful flavor?
Thanks a much for all the fantastic spins you put on vegetables!!!

I do think it’s a good method for pad thai—I make it all the time. And there’s a bunch of room for experimentation.

Also, glad to hear you had such a sensational trip through Italy! I’m jealous.

This sounds fantastic: I love the idea of cooking the noodles in the sauce alone, more or less. They must get so flavorful!

My squeeze is crazy for pad thai and I keep threatening to make it for him, but getting intimidated. This might be the last push I need to get movin’ on dinner!
