Sweet Potato "Fries"

This was fairly easy and Little Joy LOVED them. She never eats much quantity of a finger food since I usually give it to her after a nearly full meal, but she gobbled down several of these after dinner one night.

Of course this Sweet Potato "Fry" recipe comes from wholesomebabyfood.com; thats where I get most of my recipes. I need to test some from "Super Babyfood" soon; the book has so many it is overwhelming!

Ingredients:

• 3 Sweet Potatoes
• Olive Oil
• Cinnamon
• Pinch of Brown Sugar (optional)

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Wash and peel potatoes (if your baby can eat skins, you can leave them)
3. Cut potatoes to the size you want to serve and set aside. I cut mine in strips so that I had the option of breaking them into small dices or leaving them large for Little Joy.
4. Mix olive oil, some cinnamon and a tiny bit of brown sugar in a large bowl (amount of oil and cinnamon depends on how many sweet potatoes you have, you want the potatoes to be lightly coated) .
5. Add sweet potatoes and toss to ensure they are well coated.
6. Pour mixture evenly on a large baking sheet and drizzle any remaining oil over the potatoes on the pan.
7. Bake at 400 degrees for 30-45 minutes or until tender
8. Allow to cool and serve; freeze and extras

Yield: See pictures, LOTS!

Storage: Refrigerate for a few days and freezer for 1-2 months. This is not scientific fact, just what I plan on doing.

Epicutie Rating: Yummy in the Tummy - see left side of page for descriptions

LOVE LOVE LOVE, that is all I can say about how much Little Joy enjoyed these treats! She could not shovel them in fast enough!
Little Asher gave these a yummy in the tummy too almost 18 months later!

Difficulty: 2 out of 5; its a bit time consuming to peel and chop and a tad messy but worth it!!

Step 2: Wash potatoes

Step 3: Cut potatoes into the desired size

Step 8: Allow to cool. They look the same before and after cooking. They will NOT get crispy like white potato french fries will

I think she likes them!
