I’ve had quite a few potato recipes lately because I had several taters on my hands that needed to be used, and a husband who will never say no to potatoes. Today’s recipe is my latest spud creation.
It was met with husband approval.

After flipping halfway through roasting
Done!
You may enjoy serving these potatoes with everything from ketchup to maple syrup to cinnamon-flavored cream cheese. What can I say, I live for dips and condiments and creative flavor combinations.
Or simply eat the cinnamon sugar and ginger roasted potato sticks plain.
And yes, I think this is my last tater recipe for a bit.
No more spuds. For awhile.
Cinnamon-Sugar and Ginger-Roasted Potato Sticks
1 large potato, chopped into sticks
2 to 3 tbsp EVOO or coconut oil
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tbsp cinnamon
2 tbsp brown sugar (or use white sugar, stevia, reduce/omit the sugar)
Optional: pinch of nutmeg, pumpkin pie spice, cardamom, garam masala, or other warming spices
Directions:
Place potatoes in a bowl and add all ingredients. Toss with a spoon to coat. Place potato sticks on foil-lined baking sheet (to save on clean-up time). Bake at 400F for 30-40 minutes (or until crispy). Flip potatoes once halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping. Because brown sugar caramelizes, watch them near the end of the cooking time to make sure they don’t burn.
Do you ever make your potato recipes sweet? Are you a potato fan?
She’s a fan!
Please check out my Potato Themed Recipes Post. Full of ideas and recipes that include potatoes in everything from soups to one-pot meals to stand alone side dishes.
I love, love, love potatoes, but I just can’t handle them any way but savory. Sweet potatoes? Blech. Sweet veggies just bug me for some reason. Parsnips and carrots are fine raw, but I have had them roasted and for some reason it’s just too sweet. I can eat a pound of dessert that other people say “oh I can only eat one bite, it’s soooo rich” and my tastebuds don’t understand the concept. And yet, sweet veggies throw me off.
You completed afewfine points there. I did a search on the subject and found nearly allpeople will consent with your blog.
NOw that is a potato recipe I can get down with! Anything with cinnamon and sugar…I’m game.
I can actually tell, I think, some of the photos that had the exposure altered. The plate looks UBER white!
Yum! You are a genius! Those look so good.
LOVE sweet style potatoes :) yours look FABULOUS! and they got the hubbys approval YES!
Oh my gosh those potatoes sound so good! I think I will make them tomorrow. I love potatoes and I love cinnamon/sugar. Im excited :)
Those potato sticks sound great! Almost like a substitute for french toast sticks :-) This recipe would be wonderful with yams too!
These would be like dessert potatoes!!! Yum! Beautiful photo of Skylar…..
Mmm, these ones looks super crispy. Love that :) I like using a little sugar on sweet potatoes, but I’ve never done that on regular potatoes. Looks yummy!
Now that’s what i call a sweet potato! (haha)
Oo yum! Great idea. I’ve been craving anything ginger lately so I’m definitely going to try this on some sweet taters I have in the kitchen!
Day is going well so far. I’m feeling really inspired (and also tired!). I’m going to acupuncture later and I’m pretty pumped for that!
Excellent recipe. Thanks. I’m having a really busy day too :(
Those potatoes sound amazin and your pictures are beautiful! I love potato recipes! I have some sweet potatoes in the fridge, I bet they woul taste amaZing with this recipe :)
My day us going good so far! It’s not raining anymore so I’m happy!
I’ve never made fries sweet. Love this, such a clever idea :D
As much as I love sweet potatoes, I’d rather combine savory with sweet rather than sweet with sweet.
Just finishing up some homework before class and then off to a busy day!
I hope you have a wonderful Thursday!
