If you’re anything like me, you’re always looking for ways to re-invent the food you eat. Sometimes this is a good thing, other times, it’s not such a good thing. In the case of these Sriracha Sweet Potato Fries, it’s a VERY good thing.

Failure or Success?
I love cooking because it’s my creative outlet. I’m always looking to try something new or combine flavors in a different way. It’s fun and for some reason, it makes me really happy. So I just keep doing it! And the funny thing is, even if it’s a total failure, I don’t care! Unlike so many other areas in my life, failure in the kitchen never makes me mad. Instead, it inspires me to try again until I get it right.
Sriracha Sweet Potato Fries.
I’ve been making sweet potato fries for a freaking long time. I could make them with my eyes closed and my hands tied behind my back. Okay, maybe not, but you know what I mean. They’re easy for me. So that meant it was time to mix things up! And there’s no better way than SPICING things up! So I grabbed a bottle of my favorite hot sauce and got to mixing and roasting. And you know what happened? Something REALLY good!
Your New Fav Side Dish!
These Sriracha Sweet Potato Fries are crispy, spicy and full of flavor. And they are even more delicious when you dip them in the Sweet and Savory Ketchup. I believe these will be your new favorite side dish! Don’t believe me? Well, then give them a try!
