One of my favorite tricks to get a little vitamin A into my son is to make sweet potato fries. Actually I make a batch of fries that’s half regular potatoes and half sweet potatoes.

Simply peel your potatoes so you have half sweet potatoes and half regular potatoes. Slice into long thin strips. If you have a fancy spiral cutter you can make them extra fun. Let the kids help you toss the potatoes in a bowl with a tablespoon or two of olive oil, a little coarse salt, and some dried parsley or oregano. Spread them into a single layer on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake at for.

Serve these fries with fish sticks, or homemade chicken strips. Give them some light sour cream or ketchup to dip them in. They won’t even know you’re trying to get them to eat something healthy.
