Last night I went to Mac's Tavern in Old City, owned by some of the hilarious cast members of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia. It's a cute place, very unassuming and offers a decent selection of microbrews. And most importantly, the best sweet potato fries I have ever tasted! The fries are super crispy, cut thick and sprinkled with sea salt, cinnamon and possibly sugar. Oh and served with a delicious honey-horseradish cream. I can't wait to try and replicate the fries & sauce at home using the recipes below.
Sweet Potato Fries
5 large sweet potatoes, cut in 1 inch strips
Sea salt, sugar and cinnamon for seasoning.
Fry the potatoes in 350 degree vegetable oil for for 5-10 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on a paper towel lined plate and sprinkle with sea salt, sugar and cinnamon to taste.
Honey Horseradish Dipping Sauce
6 tablespoons prepared horseradish
1 1/2 teaspoons white pepper
3/4 cup honey
3/4 cup Dijon-style mustard
1/2 cup warm water
Combine all ingredients and chill for 1 hour before serving.
