Sweet Potato Fries

Not the most beautiful of pictures but I was hungry so I didn't spend time on this pic. So what do we have here? Sweet potato fries! They are so good. If you haven't tried them get down to Aldi and pick up a pack of sweet potatoes for less than £1 and give them a try. They are so delicious and versatile. Mashed sweet potato and normal potato together is divine.
Sweet potatoes have high vitamin and mineral levels, they are particularly high in vitamin A. They carry fewer calories, more fibre and fewer total carbs than normal white potatoes too. But don't forget your normal potatoes as it is a very close match!
With these fries I knocked up some veg in a tomato sauce. It seemed least time consuming and still healthy, using only chopped tomatoes, chickpeas, some frozen mediterranean vegetables, garlic and mixed herbs. I always make enough for more than one meal as it works out cheaper and easier. Most recipes/tins serve 2 so I just save one portion for the next day or later in the day as a quick and easy meal. Makes sense really.
