I loved them. Made them in place of french fries with burgers. I would make them again. And you don't need the dipping sauce.

I have made this twice now, and my kids, both of whom complain when I make them eat sweet potatoes, eat these with little if any complaint. My husband who isn't thrilled with sweet potatoes, eats them like candy. I will say that I used Wegman's basting oil, which is a grapeseed/canola oil blend seasoned with thyme, parsley and garlic, instead of canola oil. As is, they are delicious even without the dipping sauce.
