One of my favorite sandwiches in the world is the sweet potato sandwich at Crema Cafe in Harvard Square. It has roasted sweet potato, slices of granny smith apple, sprouts and whole grain mustard on toasted bread. It's pretty fabulous.
The other night I made some baked sweet potato fries with some spicy mayo to dip them in. I used the leftovers to make this tasty, tasty sandwich with the sweet potato, the spicy mayo, some crunchy lettuce and some chopped green onion on toasted whole grain bread. Yum.Related post: Crafting the Incredible, Edible Sandwich

Baked Sweet Potato Fries
An incredible simple, healthy dish that only takes a few minutes of involved preparation. A tasty side for your dinner, or a delicious stuffer in your sandwich! I serve these with a dip of mayo, Sriracha sauce (or any hot sauce) and chopped green onions. They're delicious with honey mustard as well. You could get creative and season them with fresh herbs or spices before baking them as well.
