Fish Burgers, Sweet Potato Fries & Carmelized Onions (What I ate for dinner)

This is what I ate tonight, it was very good. It was also my first successful attempt at sweet potato fries. This may be a long picture post, so I will cut my conversation short.

Here is what you need:

1 sweet potato (peeled)

1 onion sliced into circles

spoonful of  strawberry preserves (or brown sugar)

1 recipe for Salmon cakes (go ahead and do this first)

slice up your sweet potatoes like this:

Sweet potato is quite starchy, so it may take a little bit of muscle.

After you've sliced it into circles, slice the rounds into 'sticks', make sure they are roughly the same size, and look more or less (preferably more) like fries.

You will now want to toss them liberally with oil

and season generously with salt and pepper

Spread these babies on a cookie sheet so they have plenty of space (I used two sheets)

pop into a 425 degree preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes flipping half-way through so that both sides are browned nicely

While the potatoes are cookin' away, you can work on your onions. If you have already fried your Salmon cakes you can put the onions in the leftover oil, and cook on medium heat. Low and slow is the key here.

After a bit (make sure you check on your fries!), they should look like this:

When the onions have reached the coloring you desire (salting your onions will keep them brom burning too quickly), put in spoonful of strawberry preserves or brown sugar.

Stir this up to combine the ingredients...

And serve it up!

Please don't judge me, this was good. I hope you enjoy!
