We are huge fans of french fries in general and we absolutely love the sweet potato fries at South Main Kitchen. They’re sweet and a little bit spicy and then there’s that cooling dipping sauce that’s served alongside. Will they share the recipe? — LaKeyshia Voss, Roswell
Andy Long, culinary director for the Maven Restaurant Group, which includes South Main Kitchen, Butcher & Brew and Lapeer Steak & Seafood, was quick to send this recipe and a note about its origins. “Sweet potato fries have been on the South Main Kitchen menu since day one. The Buttermilk-Chive Dressing was added a couple of years later and we thought it paired perfectly with the fries. The result is a french fry with sweet heat served alongside a tangy, creamy, bright and herbaceous sauce. Pretty addictive.”
The recipe uses the classic french frying technique of twice frying the potatoes to produce fries that are tender inside and crisp outside.
