No I did not wrap these fries in bacon! I did however cook them in bacon fat (YUM). Butternut is my go-to. I personally am not a sweet potato fan. Nor do I really like pumpkin. Anytime the recipe calls for one of these two I generally try to substitute butternut. My friends have been on a sweet potato fries (apparently sweet potatoes are a good break-up food). Although they’re good, part of me yearns for butternut instead. So today I made butternut fries in their stead. They are just as good. The smooth, buttery taste of the butternut lends itself well to the recipe, plus I could make it savory or sweet. I decided to do both naturally, seasoning it with nutmeg, ginger, cinnamon, and sea salt.
