this Delicious Recipe

Sweet Bay Potatoes are a healthy and delicious twist to one of my favorite Ocean City treats. If you are from Maryland, there are a few things you know and love Crabs, Natty Boe, and Thrashers French Fries!! Though I can safely no longer enjoy Natty Boe (thanks to Celiacs), Crabs and those boardwalk fries are a life staple for me!

These delicious sweet bay potatoes are seasoned with either Old Bay or New Bay and are AMAZING! Pair these bad boys with Apple Cider Vinegar or your favorite dipping sauce. My favorite dipping sauces are Tessemaes Ranch or Tessemaes Avocado Ranch! It took a few attempts, but I finally got them nice and crispy without the frier. I cooked them in my cast iron skillet and added some nutritional yeast. The nutritional yeast helps to get them crisp and adds a great flavor.

How to make Sweet Bay Potatoes:

Slice up your sweet potatoes into more giant sticks, ¾ inch thick. Add the cut-up sweet potatoes to a large mixing bowl. Next, heat the Ghee for 10 seconds/till melted, pour on your sweet potatoes, and mix it up. Once coated in Ghee, add the remaining ingredients, and stir. Dump the bowl into a 12-inch cast iron skillet/baking sheet or, if using an Air Fryer, in the basked. Spread them out as best you can. Place in the Oven or Air Fryer and cook, flipping halfway through. Super easy and amazingly delicious, I promise!

Eating plain ole’ sweet potatoes can get old and dull quickly. Sweet Bay Potatoes are easy to make and full of delicious flavor. They are great for breakfast, a side for another lunch salad, or any dinner. Not to mention they go PERFECTLY with my Savory Ranch Burger. I hope you ENJOY them as much as I do!
