Sweet Potato Fries

By

"Folks in Darlington, SC, like their cars fast (the town is the birthplace of stock car racing) and their potatoes sweet, especially on the second Saturday in October (Oct. 10, 2009). That's when the South Carolina Sweet Potato Festival rolls in to town. Whether you have a hankering for sweet potato pie, fries, biscuits or even ice cream, you'll find it at the festival. Only locally made dishes are allowed to be displayed and sold at the fair, and all focus is strictly on the vegetable, down to the crafts, live music and the old car show. Even the balloons match the overall color scheme. To set the mood, try our Sweet Potato Fries."
