Sweet Potato Fries

We love sweet potato fries. We really like oven fries, but these are much healthier so we do these, too. They are really easy. The most important thing to have is a sharp knife. Sweet potatoes are pretty hard.

Ingredients:
2 large sweet potatoes (let's be honest-they are actually yams)
olive oil
spices of choice : we like garlic salt, pepper, and creole-which we were out of so settled for our Red Robin seasoning :)


Directions:
Peel and wash the sweet potatoes.


Cut the potatoes into 3 chunks.


Cut each of those chunks into small fries. You want to do smaller fries. Larger steak fries tend to get mushy.


Put all the fries into a large Ziploc


Drizzle in a tablespoon or two of olive oil. Just eyeball it. The fries should be coated but not dripping. Lay the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet. Make sure it is a single layer! For easier clean up, line the pan with foil. Don't forget to spray! The olive oil can be deceiving-it does NOT prevent the fries from sticking. Then season. You want to err on the side of too much spice-even when it looks like tons of spice it can turn out a little bland. If you look closely you can see all the extra garlic salt on the pan.


Cook at 400 degrees until golden brown on the bottom (about 15 minutes-mine took about 17-20). Flip the fries. Season the other side if desired. Cook for about 15-20 minutes more until the other side is golden brown.

Enjoy!
