Cajun French: la patate douce (la pa-tat doos) – sweet potato
Sweet, brings a smile, and then the pepper pops, a larger smile and finally ends with a salty kiss.
Sweet and savory gives all sorts of flavors to your mouth. This recipe does just that. Wanting to use Zapp’s Potato Chips as a topping, just did not know on what. Deciding to bake sweet potatoes we realized Zapp’s would be great with the sweetness of the potatoes. There are so many flavors of Zapp’s that it could be hard to decide which to use. Our decision was easy since we had Cajun Crawtators in the pantry. With Zapp’s the option are limitless, kick imagination in and enjoy!
Mais C’est Bon!
Enjoy!!

I do love sweet potatoes and those Zapp’s chips are fantastic! Wish I could get them here. Love the idea of putting them on top of sweet potatoes! A couple of Christmas’ ago my New Orleans friend since me a few bags. Maybe I should start dropping some hints for more. 🙂 Great dish!
thanks for the comment MJ. Hope you can find some Zapp’s to try the topping. Definitely drop hints and ask for a variety pack.
