Has anyone tried frozen waffle-cut sweet potato fries? I love sweet potatoes

[japple]

and thought this might be a quick/easy way to add a bit of nutrition and interest to a ho-hum weekday meal. I just put them on a baking sheet and into the oven @ 425 for 10 min., flipped and baked another 10 min. per package directions. Well, they were still bright orange, limp, soft, and didn't really have much flavor. Then, I read the ingredients. It appears that these are not waffle-cut fries. They must be an extruded product. Ingredients are: Sweet potatoes, Canola oil and cottonseed oil, corn starch--modified, potato starch--modified, sugar, salt, rice flour, dextrin, sodium acid pyrophosphate (maintains color & leavening) natural flavors, baking soda, beta carotene, caramel, annatto, xanthan gum.

Don't be fooled by this product. It sucks big time.

1. I buy a thick cut sweet potato fry - but they are the real deal

and no filler - which I love. Next time we get some i'll post the brand name...

Sucks that they have to take such a good food and add all that crap to it...seems like a waste of energy when they could just slice and sell the whole potato, but I'm sure i'm overlooking how it is more profitable to tart it up beyond recognition.

2. I don't understand why they had to (LOL) as you said "tart it up" either. I know that sweet

potatoes need to be treated with Vit. C or lemon juice or they will turn dark, but to whip the shit out of them and then extrude them into a waffle shape is bizarre. I'll look forward to seeing what brand you get. Thanks, neighbor!

3. I had sweet potato fries for dinner!

Not sure of the brand but we got a huge bag at Costco last time we were there. They were really, really good.

I tend to eat odd things on the nights my husband goes out for bridge. He doesn't like sweet potatoes very much so the fries made a good thing for me to make when he wasn't here.

4. I'll look for this next Costco visit… Can you remember brand?

I'd try to "make" them myself, but frankly, my sweet potato fries skill set sucks at this point!
