I’m sure many of you moms can relate to having picky eaters in your family, and my family is no exception. I happen to LOVE sweet potatoes, but my husband doesn’t really care for them. My 8-year-old son doesn’t like French fries (gasp!), but both of them loved this simple and relatively healthy side dish I made last night using Morton’s Season-All that I picked up for a mere $0.26 at Kroger with this $0.55/1 Morton Season-All printable coupon!
All it requires is three ingredients: sweet potatoes, oil, and Morton Season-All:
Slice up your sweet potatoes into pieces about 1/4″ thick. Am I just a weakling, or are these things darn hard to slice? We were in a hurry to get dinner finished up before a football scrimmage, and I had to call in my husband’s help for the slicing.
Toss your sweet potatoes with the oil and seasoned salt, and then spread them out in a single layer on baking pans.
Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes at 450 degrees, turning with a spatula about halfway through. Sweet potatoes don’t crisp up like regular potatoes, so watch for them to have just a little browning.
And voila — a super easy (and inexpensive) side dish to add to a variety of meals!
Morton Season-All Spicy Sweet Potato Fries
Ingredients:
3 large sweet potatoes
2 T. olive oil
1 T. Morton Season-All
Directions:
1. Cut each sweet potato into slices about 1/4″ thick.
2. Toss the sweet potato slices with the oil and Morton Season-All.
3. Spread out on baking sheets in a single layer.
4. Bake at 450 degrees for about 25-30 minutes, turning with a spatula as needed.
These were so good that I found myself going back for more, and they were just as good cold when I dipped into them again later in the evening, LOL.
Morton provided me with the means to purchase Morton Season-All Salt via Collective Bias. As always, all thoughts and opinions are my own!

Looks tasty, Tara! I will definitely be trying these out on my girls! My 4-yr-old doesn’t like french fries, either. {And those sweet potatoes are VERY hard to slice, lol!}
Donna
I do this with Tastefully Simples Dried Tomato Garlic Pesto…but the season salt is MUCH cheaper…so I will def try your way!!
Stacy
I absolutely love sweet potato fries, but I can’t get my husband or daughter to eat them so I usually buy the frozen ones from Trader Joes that I can make in single servings for myself. These look really good though. I’ll have to try this recipe though now that my step-son has declared himself a vegetarian.

The recipe looks great…I went through and printed the coupon, but it came out very blurry. You can’t read the workding and the bar code is fuzzy.

These look delicious! I love sweet potatoes and I look forward to trying them. I have a scar that proclaims that while sweet potatoes are not easy to slice…fingers are very easy to slice!
Kristyn
mmmm…this is my favorite way to eat sweet potatoes!
and no, you’re not a weakling! sweet potatoes are really tough to cut!! i always make my husband do it!

looks awesome! did you peal them before slicing or leave the skin on for extra nutrition?
Tara Kuczykowski
I did peel them in this instance. I’ve never tried unpeeled sweet potatoes actually, but I often leave the peels on our regular potatoes. I’ll have to try it!
Carrie
I really like that you are adding some recipes to the site!
Tara Kuczykowski
Thanks, Carrie — I actually love to cook, and now that the kids have started school, I’m inspired to share more recipes since I can cook without them underfoot!
Becky
I do this ALL the time! So good!
Also try cinnamon sugar for a sweet side! (I use veg. oil instead of olive oil in this case.)
Lena
This looks delish! I’m def going to try it out.
Maggie
Thanks for sharing! This looks fantastic! We love to dip ours in Chipotle Lite Mayo from time to time.

I second Carrie’s vote on recipes with coupons on this site. Such a good idea and so simple to make. Glad I checked on the way home…now I have a good idea for my dinner side…yummmm….keep it coming, please!
