Y’all, let me tell you about my absolute favorite midnight craving that screams Texas comfort – the Lone Star Loaded Sweet Potato Fries! This bad boy has saved me during countless late-night Netflix binges, and honey, it’s about to become your new obsession.
Picture this: crispy sweet potato fries smothered in melted queso, topped with tender brisket bits (because we’re in Texas, sugar!), and drizzled with a spicy-sweet chipotle honey sauce that’ll make your taste buds do the two-step. Are you drooling yet? Because I sure am!
Here’s what you’ll need, darlin’:
– 2 large sweet potatoes
– 2 cups leftover brisket (or store-bought, I won’t judge!)
– 1 cup queso blanco
– 2 tablespoons honey
– 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
– Green onions
– Salt, pepper, and your favorite BBQ seasoning
– Cooking oil
Now, let’s get cookin’:
1. Cut those sweet potatoes into fry-sized pieces (about ½ inch thick). Pro tip: leaving the skin on gives extra crispiness!
1. Toss them in oil and your seasonings. Don’t be shy with that BBQ rub, y’all!
1. Spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 425°F for about 25 minutes, flipping halfway. We want them golden and crispy!
