Feb 16, 2023All Recipes

This spicy-sweet appetizer can be served with any flavoured mayonnaise. For a
variation, try these potatoes as a side dish without the dip.

Preparation Time:          10 minutes
Baking Time:                    30 to 35 minutes
                                             Makes 24 to 36 “fingers”

3                                            small Ontario Sweet Potatoes (unpeeled)
1 tbsp (15 mL)                      olive oil

1 tsp (5 mL)                          grainy or Dijon mustard

Cut potatoes in half lengthwise; cut each half into 4 to 6 “fingers”. Place in large bowl
