    I've had these, but the sweet potatoes were precooked. The people doing it said it is easier to get a complete cook without burning the potatoes. It also takes much less time in the oil. They also used coconut oil. The flavor was amazing. I'm gonna have to try it like this to see which way I like them best! Great video!

      Doctors have been taught a lot of misinfo. Lard is not the enemy. The FDA is.
      Think about it for a minute: If prescriptions drugs worked, you wouldn't need a refill and doctors would put themselves out of business. They don't want us well. They want us dependent on the next visit.
      I've eaten like the FDA warns against for 73 years. Stress tests show no blockages in my heart. I take no meds, either script or OTC. I've learned to listen to my own body. I've also come to realize that worry over what we eat harms us long before the food itself. Moderation is also key.
      I truly hope things improve for you very soon. 🙂

      Yes, but don't heat it above 360F. (185 C.) It degrades above that temp. It can be kept at room temp or stored in the fridge, where it'll keep for 6 months to a year.
