What could go better with a burger than fries? How about Sassy Sweet Potato Fries?! Oh yeah!

On Memorial Day, we grilled up some turkey burgers and enjoyed them with a basket of these sweet-n-spicy fries. Simple to prepare, these oven baked fries took center stage at our holiday meal. They didn’t last long. 

A quick note to those with kids who don’t like spicy dishes ~The fries were a bit too spicy for my son. So next time I make them, I’ll probably divide the wedges into two batches—seasoning one with cayenne and the other without it.
