For the Ladies

Ladies, I've just discovered a recipe with a 99% success rate for bringing HULKING BEEF-CAKES to your front door. Had my fire alarm not been disabled while making Easter dinner a couple weeks ago, I would have had the Kirkland fire department on my doorstep. I made Sweet Potato French Fries today.

The recipe has four ingredients which include: two large sweet potatoes (or more depending on how many firemen you want to entertain,) oil, salt and sugar. Wash the potatoes and thinly slice them. I used a mandoline. Heat the oil in a deep pan to a little above medium. Toss a tater in the oil. When it sizzles your oil is hot enough to fry. Add enough potato slices to cover the bottom of the pan and use a tongs to flip them once they turn light brown. Add a smattering (hooray for non-specific directions!) of sugar and salt. Drain the chips on paper towels. Allow them to cool and serve immediately.

The beauty of frying sweet potatoes is that even if you singe them, they still taste amazing. When tiny pieces of potato stay in the pot, they tend to burn- thus the fire alarm and in my house, our security system calls 911. Just eat the charcoal-esq chips before the beef-cakes arrive to save you from the inferno.
