To not understand the obsession with sweet potato fries?

[Tobythecat]

They are far too sweet and sickly and I just don't get why everyone seems to rave about them. Much prefer ordinary chips.

I like them. People enjoy different flavours...

You’re not wrong. I have tried them, but really dislike them for the same reason! YANBU, but everyone I know (bar my child who also hates them) love them so perhaps it’s an unpopular stance.

Cos they is nice

They're nice but it depends what you're having them with, too.

They've also been around for years, the latest craze is triple cooked chips (bleh) and "dirty food".

I prefer chips cooked normally. Not that I'm a huge fan of them full stop.

I really love them.

Hope that’s helpful

They are indeed disgusting
But each to their own

People in 'different food tastes' shocker!

I really loved them but I ate them so often I went off them. Can't fancy them now. I wish that would happen with chocolate.

Soggy orange sweet chips. What's not to hate? YANBU

They've been fairly popular for ages in the US, but nowhere near as popular as regular fries. I have noticed some restaurants offering them as an alternative to standard fries.

YABU. Sweet and salty deliciousness.

Minging, soggy, flavourless.

Yanbu they are far too sweet and universally disappointing.

Eating sweet potato fries is like tucking into a roast potato that is actually a roast parsnip in disguise.

For an extra pound would you like to upgrade to sweet potato fries?

I’d pay an extra pound to not have them!

Overated and overpriced. I was asked if I wanted a "sweet potato upgrade" in the pub the other day when I ordered a burger and chips. No thanks

I love them.

People in 'different food tastes' shocker!

They are nutritionally superior to their non sweet brethren and became they are sweet I eat less of them. However, bad sweet potato fries are awful.

Nasty things.

I love them too. For fellow sweet potato chip lovers if you are ever at Borough Market head to Scotchtails, they do THE best SPF’s ever!

I agree with OP, potatoes are not meant to be orange, or sweet. Sweet potatoes are an abomination IMO! But like PP said, each to their own!

Because they are so yummy and the wedges are even better. And with sweet chilli sauce, fab 👍

I've never tried them the name is enough for me. I don't really like sweet potato unless it's mashed with shedloads of Caribbean hot sauce (the really hot stuff) and then only about a tablespoon.

I love them, some mayo for dipping and I'm proper jolly.

I tried to fob my child off with some by claiming they were just orange chips. He ate one and said "these chips are WRONG" and refused to eat any more.
