Reviews
10+ years later and I still make this from time to time! So so so good. Umami to the max. I use fresh sweet potatoes and bake them with olive oil. I sub soy sauce with coconut aminos and skip the sugar. One of my favorites..,thank goodness I pulled that recipe from the back of Food Network Magazine back in the day!
I made this. It it might potential but I really had to add ingredients. I used good quality fish sauce and it really ruined the flavor. Better to leave it out and use light soy or oyster sauce instead. Bacon didn’t cling to to fries and they ended up at the bottom of the plate. The lime flavor was nice so I will use that in a butter sauce on a real sweet potato. Most people who gave this five stars did not make it, they only rated it on appearance and trying to give it a name. Better to make the sweet potato fries and add a dipping sauce on the side.
This was such a great recipe! I loved it! I added more of the Sriracha sauce to add some extra spice.
