They sound good! I will definitely try something like this, but maybe no cayenne...;-)

In a small restaurant on Hwy 19 just getting into Inglis, FL (Levy Co) there is a place where they serve French fried eggplants...they are sooooo good, I can order just a double order of them for a meal.

Great idea. I never thought of using taco seasoning on sweet potatoes.

I like seasoned fries, though maybe not cayenne. Thanks for posting to Cook it up Big!
