GOAT CHEESE AND RED ONION SLIDERS WITH SAVORY SWEET POTATO FRIES
This is the way we love to eat Sliders AKA "Mini Burgers." Flavorful beef is combined with goat cheese and red onion on a Hawaiian roll to make a meal that is making my mouth water as I'm typing this. We serve these with homemade Savory Sweet Potato Fries (no sugary stuff, thank you very much--all savory!) Hope you enjoy these as much as we do. **You can change the amount of seasoning for the beef and fries based on your family's tastes. We are not much for measuring our ingredients!

Steps:
- Pre-Heat the oven to 400 degrees for the fries, and the BBQ (or however you are planning on cooking the burgers).
- For the fries: place the sweet potato matchsticks on a cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil. (you can cut the fries differently, they'll just cook longer) Drizzle the olive oil over the fries, and add all the spices. Pretty much, add the amount of spice your family will like. I usually shake each bottle a few times. Use your hands to mix everything up, and make sure the fries are evenly coated. End with an even layer spread out on the foil for even cooking. Cook in oven for 20 minutes, or until soft (sweet potatoes don't get crispy like regular fries. If you go longer than 20 minutes, keep an eye on them, as they will burn easily).
- For the burgers:.
- combine all burger ingredients into a medium size bowl, and mix well. Shape into small balls that will fit on each Hawaiian roll (12). Cook/BBQ to your preferred doneness.
- For the construction:.
- Slice each roll in half. Place a small amount of yellow mustard on the bottom half, layer the meat on next, followed by small slices of the red onion. Spread the goat cheese on the top half, and place on the burger.
- **of course, you can use any kind of cheese, mustard/condiments you want to make these. This is the combo my husband and I really like.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- 2. Leave the skins on the potatoes and slice lengthwise into large wedges.
- 3. In a large bowl add potatoes and olive oil. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder; Toss well.
- 4. Place on baking sheet and bake uncovered 25-30 minutes until tender on the inside and crisp on the outside.
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Sweet potatoes with a deep orange color and firm texture are best for making sweet potato fries.
- Cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly. Aim for fries that are about 1/2-inch thick and 3-4 inches long.
- Soak the potatoes in cold water: This will help remove some of the starch and make the fries crispier.
- Dry the potatoes thoroughly: Before cooking, use a paper towel to pat the potatoes dry. This will help them crisp up.
- Use high heat: Sweet potato fries need to be cooked at a high temperature to get crispy. Aim for 400°F or higher.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the fries, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Season the fries: Before baking, season the fries with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices.
- Serve immediately: Sweet potato fries are best served immediately after cooking. They can be served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as ketchup, mayonnaise, or ranch dressing.
