sweet potato - no need to peel
a little olive oil
garlic salt
onion powder
Cut potatoes into thin or thick strips. I like then about 1/2 inch thick. Put in bowl put enough oil in and toss to coat potatoes. Season with garlic and onion powder. NOTE I over season because some of it will cook off in the oven. Put them on a cookie sheet make sure they are all separated and spread out. Put in a 425 degree oven. I have not timed these but I believe it is about 15 20 min. or until lightly browned. I like then a little more darker. I don't like them sweet. I like them with a BBQ fry sauce. Mix a little mayo and BBQ sauce together. But if you like the sweeter fries try this. Instead of seasoning them with garlic and onion powder try cooking them just in the oil then when you take them out let them cool slightly and sprinkle them with brown sugar.

Wonderful sides
Creamy Buttermilk Fruit salad
This salad is always at my family partys, and I always hope for leftovers!
2 cups of buttermilk
2 pkg of coconut, lemon or cream cheese flavored instant pudding
2 cans of Mandarin oranges
1 can of mixed canned fruit
1 can of pineapple chucks
(I like to substitute and use fresh fruit like grapes, banannas and strawberries)
2 Bananas
1 Lg. tub of cool whip
sm. marshmellows if wanted
mix buttermilk and pudding together and then stir in fruit. Gently fold in cool whip and chill for at least an hour.
The best mashed potatoes
Add about 1/2 cup of buttermilk to every 7 or 8 potatoes and 2 tbls butter, put cooked potatoes, buttermilk, and butter into your mixer and mix..This is how my mother-in-law makes mashed potatoes and they are the best ever!
If you have not tried these yet they are so good. And this is a good time to use up those leftover tomatoes in the garden that don't have time to rippen before frost!
Fried Green TomatoesMakes: 6 servings Total Time: 20
Ingredients:
2 lb. green tomatoes
4 eggs
1 1/4 cups corn meal
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup minced chives
1 Tbsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper, fresh ground
1/4 cup butter or margarine
Preparation Slice the tomatoes 1/2 inch thick, but do not peel or core. Drain well between several thicknesses of paper toweling until most of the moisture of the tomatoes is absorbed.
While the tomatoes are draining, make a batter by beating the eggs until light, then mixing in the corn meal, water, minced chives, salt and pepper.
In a large heavy iron skillet, heat the butter or margarine until bubbly. Dip the tomato slices into batter, and brown quickly on both sides. Serve at once.
