Sweet Potato Fries with Guacamole Dip

As my best friend Nikisha always says, what can be better than guacamole?  I think I found out what, sweet potato fries with guacamole!  These are so easy to make, once you’ve cut up all of your sweet potatoes that is. But that’s what Tim helps me with.  He is stronger than me and can easily slice a sweet potato into little bite sized fries.  If you have one of those potato slicers that can cut one potato into a bunch of fries, that would be very useful here, you just need strength to use it.  Nikisha, Tim and I use to make guacamole all of the time in college.  We waited until we had at least $10 to spare to buy a whole bunch of avocados, some cilantro, a lemon, and tomatoes to whip up a delicious guacamole dip.  Good times…

Notes

Drizzle extra lemon juice on top of guacamole dip to help prevent oxidation and browning (oxidation does not necessarily change the taste, but it does effect the looks).
