Coconut oil on SP fries. WHY haven’t I thought about that? Genius!
Oh they are so good with cinnamon on them too Britt!!
Are you using sweet potatoes or yams? These look more orange like yams. Sweet potatoes have a creamy yellow look to them when cooked.
I use both but prefer sweet potatoes. They are easier to crisp up at the end.
