"Sweet potato fries are being tested in some Create Your Taste test restaurants in Amarillo, and we're gathering valuable customer feedback on them," a company spokesperson told Eater.
The sweet potato fries launch follows other big McDonald's menu revamps recently, most notably all-day breakfast and the promise to use cage-free eggs.
Naturally, people are pretty excited about the prospect of getting their sweet potato nosh on at McD's:
