These sweet potato oven fries are a great side dish or snack. They are from one of the Barefoot Contessa's books and are very simple. You just cut up the sweet potato and then drizzle with olive oil, salt, pepper, and brown sugar. The salt, pepper, and brown sugar give a really interesting mix of sweet and savory. We had them once or twice last year but now that I am getting a lot of sweet potatoes in from the CSA all I want is these. In addition to a side dish with the lamb shank below we also had them the other day as a football game snack. It made me feel a lot better about myself than the usual potato skins that I like to eat.
I got two lamb shanks a while back at the Bloom. They were on sale and although it was still a bit warm for something so hardy at the time I decided to get them and stick them in the freezer. I found this recipe on Epicurious- braised lamb shanks with caramelized onions and shallots. It sounded exactly like what I had in mind for these two beauties. The end result was really delicious and good quality comfort food for a fall day.
