Meat and Potatoes

It's Logan's birthday today! The birthday boy has requested burgers and sweet potato fries. Sweet potatoes are apparently considered an exotic vegetable here in Belgium, and we were told that they were out of season. We planned to do normal fries, but the Lord helped us out and we were able to pull off a really awesome birthday surprise and blindside Logan with sweet potato fries at dinner!

As far as recipes go, you'll be on your own for the burgers. Go out, mix up some meat, smash it flat, and cook it over an open flame. But, because I have so many folks asking me how I make my sweet potato fries, here is how I do it:

The Foodstuffs:
  • 1 sweet potato, cut how you like (long fries, rounds, little chunks, etc).
  • Oil of your choice - olive, coconut, bacon fat.
  • Sea salt.
  • Pepper.
  • Garlic powder.
  • Onion powder.
The How-You-Do-It
  • Pre-heat your oven to 405*F.
  • Place your cut sweet potato pieces on a cooking sheet and cover with your oil.
  • Season to taste with the salt, pepper, garlic, and onion powder.
  • Cook for ten minutes, remove & shake tray, then bake for another ten minutes. 


Mmm..meat and potatoes.
