Sweet Potato Fries image

I have long enjoyed making traditional fries from russet potatoes and invented this recipe as a vitamin A-loaded alternative. My 2-year old can't get enough of them! I choose not to peel them (more nutritious), but some people prefer the texture more when they are peeled...

Time 50m

Yield 1 large baking sheet, 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 large sweet potatoes or 3 medium sweet potatoes
2 -3 tablespoons olive oil
sea salt
paprika

Steps:

  • Slice sweet potatoes into fry-sized strips (~ 1/2 inch square strips going down the full length of the potato).
  • Toss them in olive oil and lay them out in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  • Sprinkle with freshly ground sea salt and paprika to taste.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 45 min, flipping them all over after 25 minute.
  • OR broil on low (~ 400 degrees) for ~ 20-25 minute You shouldn't need to flip them, just watch that they don't get too brown.
  • These taste best when they have just a touch of brown on them, but don't overdo them. They should not be crispy, just cooked and somewhat limp.
