Crispy Potato Sticks with Roasted Tomato Salsa Recipe<br />

Just because we have the family together we don’t need to have out chips and salsa. How about some delicious strips of sweet potatoes<br />

with a great salsa. If you want to combine potatoes and use both white and sweet. It will look nice and be sure to make everyone happy!<br />

If you don’t want to make the tomato salsa then in a decorative bowl add your homemade ketchup and drizzle apple cider vinegar!<br />

You can change the number of potatoes depending on amount of people you are serving. Basically I count a potato per person<br />

Ingredients<br />

• 4 large sweet potatoes<br />

• Safflower oil, or other high-heat stable oil including coconut oil<br />

• Sea salt<br />

• Freshly ground pepper<br />

Directions<br />

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.<br />

1. Line a two baking sheets with parchment paper<br />

2. Scrub and rinse the potatoes; dry them off and quarter them; halve again and slice into long thin matchsticks.<br />

3. Toss the potato sticks into a bowl. Drizzle with just enough oil to coat; season and toss well.<br />

4. Spread the potato sticks on the parchment lined baking sheet(s) in a single layer. Place in the upper third of the oven and bake for<br />

ten minutes.<br />

5. Using a thin flexible spatula, turn the sticks over and return them to the oven for another ten minutes or so until the potatoes are golden<br />

and sizzling on the outside, yet still tender in the center.<br />

6. Drain the potato sticks briefly on a paper towel; sprinkle with sea salt. Set out in a decorative platter with Roasted Tomato Salsa<br />
