Baked Curry Sweet Potato Fries

Makes 1 potatoes worth of fries. This recipe is easily multiplied. Crispy, baked fries with curry and red pepper flakes. Spicy. Salty. Yummy. I used egg white as a binder because I like the way it makes the spices stick to the potato. You can also toss the potatoes in olive oil instead of the egg white and sprinkle the spices on top.
1 plump sweet potato, peeled
1 TBSP olive oil
1 large egg white
1/2 tsp curry powder
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp turmeric
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp salt, or to taste
Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and set aside.
Peel sweet potato and slice off the top and bottom points of the potato. Use a large knife to slice potato into 1/3-inch potato sticks. Fries!
Place potato sticks onto prepared baking sheet and toss with olive oil. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk egg white until foamy and frothy. Add curry powder, cumin, turmeric, and crushed red pepper flakes and whisk to incorporate. Pour the egg mixture over the potato sticks and gentle toss to coat the potatoes.
Place in the oven and bake to desired doneness and crispiness, my fries took about 25-30 minutes. Remove fries from the oven and serve immediatly.

Recipe: Rory's Irish Scones

The secret to these scones is a light touch; you don't want to handle the dough anymore than you have to. They're great warm, and the perfect vehicle for sopping up sauce or soup, or slathering with butter and drizzling with honey. This is the fastest way to make up warm bread.

4 cups flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
2 cups buttermilk
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Whisk the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Make a well in the center of the dry mixture and add the buttermilk. Mix together by hand, being careful not to overwork the dough. Turn out on a well-floured surface and form into a large rectangle, about 1 inch thick. Using a sharp knife( a pizza cutter works well, too), cut the dough into 9 strips, 1-inch wide, then cut each strip into 6, 1-inch squares. Place,barely touching, on a large sheet pan that has been lightly floured or lined with parchment. Bake for 10 minutes, rotate the tray, and bake 7 minutes more. Yield: 54 scones.
Youv'e never tasted Soda Bread this good. Featured the month of March.
