I took yesterday off from work to cook. That was the sole purpose of my day and I was in heaven. I’ve shared often that my work family loves to eat.

And while some of my friends grumbled, I begged to be invited for dinner in hopes they’d be serving fish sticks and French fries. Loved them. Please tell me I’m not alone on this one.

Baked Sweet Potato Fries are almost a staple for us. There’s something so addicting about the sweet heat that comes from the sweetness of the potato combined with the Cajun herb seasoning. Any time we’re having burgers or anything else that pairs well with fries, we’ll likely turn to these.
