SWEET POTATO FRIES WITH BLUE CHEESE

Sweet Potato Fries with Blue Cheese image

I used to avoid sweet potatoes as a child, mostly because they came out of a can. When I heard of the many health benefits, I began trying fresh sweet potatoes with my husband. Now we enjoy fries topped with cinnamon sugar or cayenne pepper. We've also discovered how awesome they are with blue cheese. -Katrina Krumm, Apple Valley, Minnesota
