Sweet Potato Fries

Technically, these little morsels shouldn't be called "fries" because

they're baked, not fried. But 'Sweet Potato Sticks' doesn't sound nearly as

appetizing, now does it.:)

I first saw this recipe on how does she? and was skeptical about how they would turn out so I made traditional baked sweet potatoes (with cinnamon sugar) as well as the experimental fries to go along with our steaks. I should have made them all fries because they were so good! And all three kids ate them too! Yum! We may never have to eat deep fried 'fries' again!

5 star rating because even as full as I was, I couldn't help but finish off

the last of them. This is all that was left by the time I got my hands on my

camera. For better, more appetizing photos click here.

Baked Sweet Potato Fries

2 or 3 good sized red yams

olive oil

grated parmesan, yes the stuff in the green can

(my sweet gammy always called this par-ME-san)

Peel then cut the potatoes into strips, or sticks. Put in a large bowl and toss with a couple tablespoons olive oil and grated parmesan until evenly coated. Spread on foil covered cookie sheet and roast at 425 for 30 minutes, turning every 10-15 minutes. Serve with favorite dipping sauce. I like traditional Utah fry sauce, which is equal parts ketchup and mayonnaise. (Well, I probably favor the ketchup a little)

*Note: images are from different batches. I tried skins on but think I prefer no skins:)
