This is a great alternative for french fries. My kids are asking me for the new kind of "French Fries". They are tasty enough that you don't need katup.

i did this with yams, and it went over very well. good for dipping in ketchup, i'll definitely be making these again soon.

What a yummy splurge for me! The kids thought they were great, too. I used seasoned salt instead of salt & pepper. Next time I will cut them smaller so they can crisp up a bit more.

I forgot to use salt and pepper, and these were still fantastic! The only thing I would do differently is to change the cook time. I cut the fries into smaller slices, and they seemed to be crispy/done after about 10-12 minutes. Great idea! If health/calories are not an issue, they are good with ranch dressing.

I made these this evening and they were delicious. My husband won't usually eat sweet potatoes but he loved these. I tossed with olive oil and baked mine for 30 minutes and they still didn't look as crispy as the photo. I'm at 5000 ft alt. so maybe that had something to do with it, but regardless we will be making them often. Thanks so much!
