Hey guys! I know it’s been FAR too long! I have had an extremely chaotic year. Between moving, buying a new house, home renovations, and welcoming our second baby, we haven’t had a minute to breathe.
I am so excited to be back. Our new kitchen is finally almost done and my 5 month old is napping a littttttle bit better these days, so it’s time for mom to get back in the kitchen a bit more. I couldn’t be more excited!
It was my birthday a couple of weeks ago and I was dying for some sweet potato fries. I have tried to make oven baked sweet potato fries many times and they NEVER have gotten crispy. I did some digging and experimented in the kitchen and created these. Amazing!
The aioli is incredible and I highly recommend you pair them together.
