Sweet Potato (Gwa'chi) Fries

2 Sweet Potatoes (Large)
1 tbsp of Olive Oil
¼ tsp Salt (to taste)
1 Fresh Lemon
1 tsp Red chilli powder (Optional)

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
Cut the Sweet Potatoes into ½ inch strips or wedges and toss in Oil and Salt. Arrange in a single layer on a non-stick baking sheet. Place in oven for 30 minutes, turning once. Sprinkle Fresh Lemon, Salt mixed with Red Chilli Powder and serve. Simple as that …
Ideal for those Health / Gym freaks ….


Chef’s Tip: Sweet Potato can be fried just any ordinary Potato fries too, if required. You can also spice up your fries. For you Desi’s you can also use a little Chunky Chaat Masala …

All you East Africans also know, that you can simply roast a Sweet Potato with Skin, for a delicious bite whilst having a Barb-A-Que.

A Point I'd Like to share with you ... For some Odd American reason. The American's are under the impression that Sweet Potatoes is only a American homegrown product, and the African similar root Veg is Yam.
Let's educate the Americans and let them know, that Sweet Potatoes are grown all over the world. All East Africans would agree with me that we have all grown up eating them atleast once or twice a month. All the people from the Indian sub-continent and the far East seem to have eaten Sweet Potatoes too.
