Gloriously soft sweet potato fries with a crunchy, seasoned polenta coating. Not only do these taste heavenly, sweet potatoes are more nutritious than white potatoes, and lower on the glycaemic index. They are a great source of beta-carotene and potassium. The small amount of oil in this recipe helps the body to absorb the carotene.
