Complement any meal with chef Spike Mendelsohn's(one of Top Chef's participants and owner of Good Stuff Eatery in Washington, D. ) sweet potato fries, a side dish he created in celebration of the 2009 inauguration of Barack Obama. Ingredients:
4 sweet potatoes, skin on (or off, your choice) |
1 bunch chopped fresh sage (about 1/4 cup) |
1/2 cup brown sugar |
2 tablespoons sea salt |
2 tablespoons cracked black pepper |
1/4 cup olive oil |
2 cups mayonnaise |
1/4-1/2 cup sriracha sauce (at local grocery stores, a hot sauce) |
2 tablespoons heavy cream (whipping) |
1 tablespoon sea salt |
1 cup mayonnaise |

1/3 cup chopped thai basil (or regular basil) |
1/3 cup chopped cilantro |
