While discussing lactose-free cheese products with my friend Allison (whose husband is a fellow lactose intolerant) I learned that feta cheese is made from goat milk and I can eat it! Which lead to ultra excitement and the discussion of a delicious sounding recipe for sweet potato fries with feta. I tried it, it’s delicious. Thanks for sharing it, Allison.
Here it is:
Balsamic reduction
1/3 c balsamic vinegar
1/4 c sugar
1/3 c balsamic vinegar
1/4 c sugar
1 tsp. arrowroot (can sub cornstarch)
1 tsp. water
In small sauce pot over medium high, bring vinegar and sugar to a boil, stirring often.
mix arrowroot and water into a slurry and pour into reduction.
cool and place in a squeeze bottle.

Sweet potato chip Ingredients
2 medium sweet potatoes, scrubbed and sliced 1/8 inch thick or smaller (use a mandolin if you have one!)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
coarse salt, preferably sea salt
Preheat oven to 400 degrees, with racks in center and lower positions. Divide sweet potatoes between 2 rimmed baking sheets. Drizzle with oil, toss, and spread them in a single layer on sheets. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Bake, flipping once or twice, until centers are soft and edges are crisp, 22 to 25 minutes. (I like to finish them under the broiler to get them a little crispier, but you have to keep a close eye on them so the edges don’t burn.)
Remove from the oven and spread on serving platter. Crumble some goat cheese over the chips, and then lightly drizzle everything with the balsamic reduction. Enjoy while still warm!
