Sometimes you need to shake things up a bit and use sweet potatoes. The inclusion of apple makes these home fries naturally sweet and extra delicious.

Sweet Potato Home Fries
From Happy Herbivore
Serves 4

Ingredients: 

• ¾ teaspoon rosemary, dried
• 2 medium sweet potatoes, diced
• 1 small apple, cored and diced
• Salt, to taste
• Pepper, to taste

Instructions: 

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Grind rosemary with a mortar and pestle until it reaches the consistency of sea salt, but not so finely that it’s like a powder.

Place potatoes and apples in a mixing bowl or colander and rinse under cool water. Shake off excess, but the potatoes and apples should still be lightly damp.

Sprinkle rosemary plus salt and pepper over top and mix to coat using your hands.

Add more spices and repeat. Repeat a third time if desired.

Transfer coated potatoes and apples to cookie sheet, making sure there is no overlap.

Bake for 15 to 25 minutes or until fully cooked and crisp. For added crispness, try broiling for a minute or two, but keep a watchful eye so you don’t burn your home fries.
