Southwestern Salty Sweet Potatoes to Cry For! image

My friends beg for these everytime I give a party! They are so delicious and satisfying, I just never seem to fix enough no matter how many I make. I wonderful change from white oven fried potatoes which are so high in carbs. THESE ARE VERY LOW CARB. And I dare you to stop at just one serving...I found this recipe in Healthy Cooking but have modified it to my own taste.
