You can cut them into French fries by hand. Just as tasty!

Hmm, now if we only had a Mandoline. :-)

Avocado Mayonnaise

1 pastured egg yolk at room temperature
1 teaspoon homemade mustard
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
3/4 to 1 cup raw organic avocado oil
1/2 ripe avocado, mashed
generous pinch of sea salt

In your food processor, place egg yolk, mustard, lemon juice and salt and process until well blended, about 30 seconds. With the motor running, add oil in a very slow, thin stream. The mayonnaise will thicken as it stands.

Yum! The lime will have to wait until my yuzu is producing but I am making an exception for spices so chile powder I can do! And what is that yummy green sauce you have drizzled over these bad boys?

Split delicata squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Split halves into wedges, arrange skin-side down in a heavy skillet. Season with fresh lime juice and smoked chili powder and roast in a 350 degree oven until tender/crisp and golden brown, about 20-30 minutes.

OOOHHH. I’ve got a box of those just sitting around! Do you julienne? Or what is the easiest shape to cut squash into? Crescents? I’ve never tried anything but cubes before. Fry daddy, FRY!

Yes, tallow works great!

Delicata squash makes really good french fries. Can be oven-baked or fried.. http://bit.ly/17ni2E

Last week when dh was out of town I made the kids potato chips fried in tallow for dinner. I stood there frying for about an hour and each batch was gone as quickly as it hit the plate. They asked for them again every night so I promised them we’d go get a fry daddy next week so we can make bigger batches.

I can’t wait to find sweet potatoes at the farmer’s market! I haven’t been for a month or so, they might already be there now. I tried beets & carrots since we had those and they didn’t come out so well. I really need to find a duck farmer…

My guess is yes. Might taste slightly porky, but that might be a good thing. Let us know if you try it!
