A sweet potato has the highest nutrients of anything you will find in the produce section. I like the red garnet ones.
Preheat your oven to 425
Peel your potatoes, cut in half sideways the cut those pieces longways in half. slice them so they resemble french fries. about 1/4 inch. when you get them all cut drizzle with a bit of oil. I use olive. Then add spices...salt/pepper garlic powder whatever you want. Even some Cayene for a kick. Experiment and have fun.
Place on a sheet tray lined with parchment.(you don't have to use it) and bake for about 20 minutes turning at half time. They will get brown on the outside and soft inside.
Enjoy!
Oh and by the way...those things we call yams in the united states are really sweet potaotes. Since Yams are from Africa and not even related to sweet potaoes you can only find them in an international market. The US is required to call them "yams/sweet potaotes." Silly huh? Maybe you can use that tidbit of info playing jeopardy one day lol
Making them now! Thanks for the great idea ;)
