Sweet Potato Fries With Coconut Oil

What's frying?

One day I was watching the Dr. Oz show...or was it the Doctor's Show?  Well, it doesn't matter.  In an episode, it was said that sweet potatoes were good for us.  Immediately, I wrote down sweet potatoes on my grocery list.  I wanted to eat something good for my body.

According to the World's Healthiest Foods website, sweet potatoes contain the following:

--beta-carotene (good for the skin);
--antioxidants (which slow the body from aging);
--anti-inflammatory properties;
--fiber (good for digestion);
--potassium (good for hydration of the body);
--iron (good for the blood; to prevent anemia); and
--Vitamin C (good for immune system).

Sweet potato fries were delicious!

I bought precut fries from a grocery store.  I then bought coconut oil from Whole Foods.  Since coconut oil is expensive, I did not want to waste it.  I decided to use a small pot (pictured first).  I'd heard that coconut oil is very beneficial, too.  That's why I decided to use this oil.

I'd also heard that cooking with coconut oil does not smoke.  It was easy.  The fries cooked a lot faster, too.  I was amazed!  I just added some sea salt at the end.

According to the Coconut Research Center, coconut oil provides the following:

--kills viruses;

--kills bacteria;

--kills yeast infections;

--reduces inflammation; and

--prevents cancer.
