CAJUN SWEET POTATO FRIES WITH YOGURT DIPPING SAUCE



Cajun Sweet Potato Fries with Yogurt Dipping Sauce image

I also belong to the Betty Crocker recipe club and this is one of the recipes that I received. I have made this and it is very good. My husband even liked it, which is unusual because he doesn't like sweet potatoes. The dip is an extra bonus that is good on regular fried as well.
