Taco Spiced Sweet Potato Fries Recipe

Check Out My New eBay Store!

INGREDIENTS:
2 medium or 3 small sweet potatoes, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch strips
1 tablespoon olive oil
6 teaspoons Old El Paso taco seasoning mix (from 1-oz package)
(see my tips below)

See my Darlene’s Concoctions videos here!

DIRECTIONS:
1:  Heat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, toss sweet potatoes with oil and taco seasoning mix until coated. Spread potatoes in single layer on ungreased cookie sheet.

2:  Bake 20 to 30 minutes, turning once or twice, until potatoes are lightly browned and tender

Darlene’s Tips:  For crispier fries be sure they are not overlapping. You could also try baking on a rack instead of directly on the pan. I love the idea of serving in a bag like shown in the pic. I did that all the time when feeding a bunch of kids, especially with popcorn. You can cut the bottom of a lunch bag, leaving it about 2 or 3 inches tall, and use that as a boat to hold the fries… or anything! Save the top of the bag for crafts. Or you can fold the top of the bag and place in the bottom of the boat for a sturdier bottom. No dishes to wash! And use any seasoning you want, or no seasoning at all. You could also cut into wide steak fries or round slices… do whatever you want. I will be making these for my mother then will freeze for when she wants some!

Easy Homemade Chocolate Fudge Sauce Recipe

Check Out My New eBay Store!

INGREDIENTS:
1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk (not sweetened condensed)
1 bag (12 oz) semisweet chocolate chips (2 cups)
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon butter
(see my tips below)

See my Darlene’s Concoctions videos here!

DIRECTIONS:
1:  In 2-quart saucepan, heat milk, chocolate chips and sugar to boiling over medium heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat once it reaches a full boil.

2:  Stir in butter until sauce is smooth and creamy. Cool about 30 minutes or until sauce begins to thicken. Store covered in refrigerator up to 4 weeks.

Darlene’s Tips:  You can do this with any flavor morsels… like butterscotch! If you don’t have the butter, don’t worry about it. Maybe add a teaspoon up to a tablespoon of oil instead if you want. Or just skip that ingredient and it will be okay.  If your sauce is too thick when it’s time to serve, simply heat in the microwave a few seconds at a time until it melts a bit.  If it’s too thin, well then you have choclate syrup instead of sauce! lol  Either way, I’m sure it’s still delish!
