This is the way my Mom taught me, I hated to peal them, but well worth it!! Thank you for the memories!


Do you fry in batches more like a home-fry type of potatoe.... or do they sit and get cooked n crunchy like fried white potatoes??!

Either way... yummie!


I love sweet potatoes. When I was a kid, my maternal grandma always heated and cooked with wood. She always kept sweet potatoes in the coals of the heating stove. Her house always smelled really good and we could eat sweet potatoes everyday. My brother and I would always slather ours with butter. Boy, were they good!!


I bet that if you put syurp, honey or sugar and cinnamon on them it would pass as a desert.Great post...chow


Gem...Bless you.... this was a treat for us kids.... I used to eat these when I was growing up living with my Grandmother...she would fry these for us....You managed to bring back a memory I had well forgotten.....


Mmmmmm... this recipe brings memories back of South Carolina. Thank you ;-)


Fry them like a french fry with fish. Try frying a sliced left over baked potato with bacon, eggs and biscuits for breakfast. They are good ther as well.


Fried sweet potatoes were a special treat for me as a child. My Momma would sprinkle a tiny bit of sugar on them. Jimmy's Mom salts her's like french fries. Either way, they're great!
