Where can I find frozen sweet potato fries in Canada?

Question

I live in Ottawa, Ontario and I'm looking to buy some frozen sweet potato fries. I can't find them anywhere! Can anyone suggest anywhere?

Answer 1

I saw some at Zehrs last week in Kitchener, try a Loblaws based store, like Great Canadian Superstores, Fortinos or a Loblaws and if they are in Ottawa a Zehrs, but I am a former chef and have made them and they are not different in making than regular fries, they tend to be less crispy, but you can do them like white potatos and blanch them in a lower temp oil and then raise it to 350-75 and crisp them up.

Or alternatively, cut them into fire size pieces and toss them in a seasonings, oil and spice mix, spread them on a baking tray and cook for 25-40 minutes depending on the size, stirring occasionaly, a few sweet potatos will cost you less than the package but they are available in the frozen food section of the grocery stores now.
