Do you have sweet potato on the brain like we do? I've been eating them in every way possible this fall: Cut into wedges and roasted with spices; baked in foil and smothered with cinnamon and pecans; even blended up into smoothies! One my favorite treats is a piping hot batch of sweet potato fries. You've heard time and time again that sweet potatoes are full of good-for-you nutrients, but does that hold true when they're sliced up and fried? What do you think: Is there really that big of a difference between regular French fries and sweet potato fries? We're putting Ore Ida's Sweet Potato Fries and Golden Fries (regular French fries) head to head to find out the answer!

However, the sweet potato fries also have 50% more vitamin A than the regular fries, with 130 fewer mg of sodium . Also notice that both varieties of fries have the same amount of fiber (2 grams) . Both potatoes and sweet potatoes get most of their fiber from the skin, which is often sliced off in commercially-prepared fries. With skin, sweet potatoes have just slightly more fiber than regular potatoes. Want to make healthy sweet potato fries at home?

Baked fries can have as much oil as deep fried, it depends on how much oil you put on the pan. Deep frying, actually, can produce less greasy food, than baked or pan fried. Just because you are dipping the food in oil, does not mean all of it goes into your food. It's basic food science. Anyway, I eat regular fries and sweet potato fries, with different rosa de monte things. They are not interchangeable in my opinion. Certain combinations of foods work better together. Generally, I like sweet potatoes with pork or pork products, rosa de monte and regular potatoes with beef. The exception is probably, I toss sweet potato fries with Furikake and serve this is asian food. - 11/2/2014   7:56:51 AM
It should be a no brainer that if you deep fry potatoes (or anything for that matter) would give it more calories as it's soaked it hot oil. So yeah they would be just as bad for you as regular fries are. I love baked fries, hence we are subtracting the oil that the potatoes are bathing in when using the deep FAT frier. - 1/12/2014 &
