Yummy and very good for him! This reminds >me that we haven't had sweet potatoes in ages... > > It's not the fat that makes fries junky - it's the hydrogenated fat and some of the other ingredients. But you can either make your own with your favorite non-hydrogenated oil (corn, olive, safflower, soy - not canola, it can't take the heat), or buy some healthy premade ones at your local whole-foods grocery. An alternative would be to buy potato-only frozen fries and then brush them with oil and bake and/or broil or pan/deep fry. If you're rich and peanut oil is not a problem, taro chips are great.
