And just like that it's time for french fries! Or should I say fry time

Okay, technically these are baked and they aren’t really your typical fries, but still, same difference right?

So life has just been crazy this year to put it mildly, but the good thing is that no matter how insane all of our lives get we can still all come together to talk about food at any given time. I mean….people have gotta eat, am I right?

So not only are we talking about potatoes, (which alone are enough to make a good majority of carb-lovers pretty darn happy), but I also made some hummus to go with and it takes all of like, 4 minutes and done. You can go as heavy or light on the spice as you want but the recipe is for a hummus at a pretty happy medium.

By the way, you can feel free to use whatever color sweet potatoes/yams that you like for this. Or regular potatoes, as they work the same. Bottom line is that these are one of the best snacks or sides ever.
But really, who says we can’t just eat french fries for dinner yo? You certainly won’t hear that from me. Oh, and leftovers happen sometimes so don’t think these are a lost cause. Just because everyone knows microwaved fries are a major no-no if you don’t particularly like the taste of cardboard, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t save them. No, these are easily brought back to life with just a few minutes on broil in your oven or toaster oven. Or, if you’re a weirdo like me and you like cold potatoes, you can easily chop them up and throw them on a salad cuz that’s a win.

Baked Sweet Potato Fries + Sriracha Hummus
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Total Time: 55 minutes
Yield: about 4 servings
Ingredients
Yam Fries:
3-4 large yams or sweet potatoes, washed
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
Sriracha Hummus:
1 1/2 cups cooked garbanzo beans, rinsed
1 tablespoon tahini
2 cloves garlic, peeled
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons sriracha
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Fries:
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 C) and line a baking tray with foil.
Chop potatoes into matchsticks and toss with olive oil and seasoning in a large bowl and spread out in an even layer on tray and bake for 15 minutes. Then remove from oven and toss a little bit then return to oven and bake for 15 to 25 more minutes until crispy. I like to start checking them at about 10 minutes to make sure there are none getting burned. Remove from oven and season with more salt and pepper to taste.
Hummus:
Combine all the ingredients for hummus in a small food processor or blender and pulse until smooth.

Beautiful looking food. I always enjoy a good sweet potato or sweet potato fries. Guess I'm not that creative.

Wow, Its awesome photography! and awesome another recipe. Thank You for share with us..
It's always my pleasure @sabbir1213!
The yam fries are really a undervalued dish. They are great. We generally don't spice them but use a really spicy green dip with them. Thks and Enjoy
That sounds divine @sarez!
I'm a freak too, I love chips and popcorn.
You gave me cravings, I'm going to the kitchen. Thank you, a hug and prosperity.
Oh, hugs back at you @amigoponc!
Wow very delicious food as how it looks, I haven't try yet that kind of recipe here in the Philippines! Thanks for sharing .
Hello from the States all the way there @leeyen23!
Likewise 😀
Photos look delicious! :)
Also, thanks for all the travel posts, some of the NY pictures are fantastic!
Oh, that's very kind. Thanks @santigs!
This looks absolutely delicious, siracha sauce is my favorite sauce in the whole world I think I'll make this for my soon to be wife. Thanks for sharing the recipe with us. Hummus and fries, doesn't get much better than that!

Baked is a lot healthier then fried, maybe I will try this recipe, it

Love how you kept the skins on the sweet potatoes - give that rustic and authentic look and taste!
@travelling-two I am really glad you liked it
I have been eating vegetables alone for a few months now. It's an attempt to combat diabetes. I should give this a try. How about a recipe to make hummus?
@juniorshelver I am sorry you're eating alone. Here is a recipe - https://steemit.com/photography/@gringalicious/hummus-and-veggies-mediterranean-mezze-board-food-photo-shoot
Wow, its totally mouth melting. This is great !
@mjay2018 thanks so much for commenting
The post is just attracted. S Great !
@mjay2018 nice
Is there something wrong with cold potatoes? 😜I also love them in that way especially in salad. Yesterday I made salad with black olives, fried potatoes, pearl barley and feta cheese. I add some balsamic vinegar with honey and that was delicious 😊
@xuanito I love feta cheese
so we have something in common @gringalicious 😉
so we have something in common @gringalicious 😉

@kamrankhan900 so glad you liked it
Great job on the photos! I like the rough grey surface, I think it really brings out the colors on the plate. Also love the tones, warm overall and fresh for the salad. I think I know what I'm eating today :)
@vertindigo thanks so much for commenting

@rcristiano thanks
Haha good to see we are both weirdos. I wouldn't mind a cold one too as long as it is still potato anyway.
Good to have you back doing what you know how to do best. My hungry days are over. Refreshing moments are here.
I noticed you have been overly busy, totally understandable.
This is really a nice treat, the type I would gladly even take as dinner, or any time of the day for that matter. Welcome back and lovely treat, my friend.
@olawalium thanks for commenting
No worries my friend.
So delicious! Actually, I can find all the ingredients around here, will definitely give a try soon! Now I need to find something to eat because your post made me so hungry!
@attoan.cmt I hope you give it a try
There is nothing better than french fries for dinner! Serious comfort dinner lol! Baked in the oven like this is heavenly. I haven't tried with hummus though, great idea!
@birdsinparadise I hope you are able to give it a try
Baked, fried or cooked potato, i just love it no matter the recipe. Great post and good food. Thumbs up.
@xtopher thanks so much for commenting
Hi!! that looks awsome! I got started a couple of months ago and I don´t seem to have much support. Can you take a look at my posts and give me some advice? Thanks alot!
@vicmic keep working hard
Always happy to read your recipes and can almost move to the site watching your incredible photos. I have certainly made the potatoes that way and they are as deep fried and obviously much healthier.
@luiselen thanks so much for commenting
