Sweet Potato Fries with Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce

Mark here... this recipe is bit of a mix...I used the Barefoot Contessa's sweet potato fries recipe and found a honey mustard dipping recipe on epicurious.com.

Sweet Potato Fries

Ingredients

2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into fries
olive oil
1 tablespoon Light brown sugar
salt and pepper

Preheat the oven to 450

The original recipe calls for 2 tablespoons of olive oil, but I probably used more. You want to toss the fries in the olive oil and brown sugar to cover them.  They then go on a sheet pan but I would recommend covering the pan with foil.  Cooking with sugar can be messy and can ruin some pans.  Lightly salt and pepper the fries and then put in the oven.  Here is the tough part, I found they need to be tossed almost constantly or the fries will stick and you could end up with just mashed sweet potato on a pan.  It may take longer as you will be opening the oven a bit, but in the end the fries will be better...although I still found it hard to get them to "crisp" like fries as sweet potatoes tend to go soft.  Anyway, it should take about half an hour or so.
