Grilled Pork with Sweet Potato Fries and Corn on the Cob
Sweet Potatoes
These need to be started about an hour before dinner. They are baked, not fried so they are a bit healthier.
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- Wash the potatoes.
- Cut the potatoes into french fry shaped pieces about a quarter of an inch across.
- Toss with 2 - 3 Tablespoons of Olive oil, 2 tablespoons salt and a sprinkle or two of chili powder.
- Spread evenly on a baking pan lined with tin foil.
- Cook for about 45 minutes, turning every 15 minutes or so.
Pork Chops
Marinade Ingredients:
- 4 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 4 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Fresh Ginger mashed (I just put it through my garlic press)
- 3 Cloves of Garlic mashed
Once fries are in put pork chops in the marinade and turn so both sides are coated. Cover and refrigerate for about 30 minutes. These can be grilled or cooked in a pan over medium heat.
Corn
I boil a few extra ears of corn. After dinner I cut off the kernals and save them for later in the week when we have succotash as a side dish.

Looks yummy! I put ginger through my garlic press the other day and was excited that it worked so well. Grating ginger can be a pain. Good luck with your meal planning!
