What do you need?

This recipe pulls very simple ingredients. you just need a large sweet potato, 1 tbsp of butter, salt, and your fries are ready. I used butter which is again a good source of fat however you can use any non-refined oil like groundnut or gingelly oil for frying the potatoes. If you use salted butter you don't have to add salt. salt in the butter is enough for the taste. I tried this Sweet potato fries for kids recipe when my son was teething and not at all interested in any food. Luckily it worked, he liked the taste of the sweet potato and I was really happy to see him eating healthy food. I am sharing this recipe with you and I will be really happy if it helps you.

Since this is a kid's friendly recipe I prefer to shallow fry the potatoes after steaming it. Deep-fried fries will also be crispy but lose nutrients if overcooked. I always suggest a slow cook or steamed food for kids. Sweet potato is loaded with good fat which is a rare find in vegetables. It has a unique taste moreover we can try many different recipes with this. I will try to post a few new recipes soon. Please try this recipe and leave me a comment. I hope you will enjoy it!
