Sweet Potato Fries - Mark Bittman

All measures approximate. *

• Sweet Potatoes, Peeled - about 6 or 2 pounds
• 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
• 1 tsp Garlic Powder
• 1 tsp Paprika, preferrably smoked
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper

• Preheat Oven to 400
• Optionally Peel the sweet potatoes
• Cut into Fries, 1/4“ to 1/2” wide, 3 inches long
• Toss fries with oil
• Mix spices, toss fries with spices

• Bake until brown and crisp on the bottom, about 15 minutes

• Flip fries, and cook until the other side is crisp, about 10 minutes

Uniformity of fries matters. thinner crips faster

cook only a single layer on the baking sheet

Single tray only in the oven is better

Possibly increase temperature to 425

Some say rinse and then try the fries before coating with oil to remove some starch
