One of my favorite Memphis restaurants had unbelievable sweet potato fries covered in sugar and dipped in honey mustard. Unfortunately, the sugar-covered, deep-fried vegetable often left me feeling too full and full of grease afterwards. This recipe mimics that sweet taste without mimicking the after-meal guilt.

At a loss for what to make during football season? This right here is probably my number one suggestion (other than Oreo Truffles, of course). The fabulous combination of sweet fries and honey mustard score once again! [The crowd goes wild] <---Bonus points for cheesy football fan analogies?
