from socalgardengal on 02/25/2015 03:07 AMI should also add that in any of these recipes you can microwave the potatoes to save time. Just poke holes in them so they don't explode :)

from Pepper_Rancher on 02/26/2015 01:47 AMHi. I grew sweet potatoes for the first time last year. I ended up moving (I still havent sold the house) and never got a chance to dig up the sweet potatoes. Are they definately bad (rotten) by now or should I dig them up to see? Will they automatically grow new sweet potato plants once the weather warms back up?

from zackey on 02/26/2015 04:49 PMHow cold was your winter? I had some get lost in the garden. I didn't find them until after it had frosted. An armadillo was digging around and exposed about 15 more pounds of them. I suggest you dig them up and see what it looks like. If they survived they might start new plants for next year.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Lightly oil a baking sheet with olive oil.
Cut sweet potatoes lengthwise into fries and lightly sprinkle with olive oil and sea salt. Bake about 20 minutes or until golden.
