Roasted Sweet Potato Fries or Rounds

Marg (CaymanDesigns)'s Note:

A nice change of pace from "regular" fries. I like dipping them in sour cream or eating them plain.

• Total Time: 35 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 2 large sweet potatoes
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter , melted
• salt

Directions:

1. Scrub the sweet potatoes, leave unpeeled, and cut into fries or rounds. (Trust me, rounds are much easier!).
2. Combine olive oil and melted butter.
3. Arrange the potato slices, not touching, in rows on a baking sheet.
4. Lightly brush the potatoes with the oil mixture; being careful to not use too much or the fries get mushy.
5. Roast at 450°F for 18 to 22 minutes, or until they are golden and crisp, turning them once with a spatula.
6. Transfer the potatoes to paper towels to drain, sprinkle them with the salt to taste, and serve them warm.
7. Note: can be sprinkled with cinnamon sugar instead of salt.

This is an easy and delicious way to prepare sweet potatoes! I cut mine into rounds, as suggested, and seasoned them with both salt and pepper before roasting. They came out beautiful and were extremely tasty! I will definitely be making this recipe again!

Oh, this picure is great...it looks just like my potatoes did coming out of the oven!! I love this recipe and make it all the time!! I slice the sweet potato slightly thick so that the outside is crunchy, but the inside still has a little softness to it. I actually don't even use the olive oil or butter. This is one of my favorite sides, so simple yet so tasty...thanks so much!!

We used a bit of spray rather than the oil and butter. We just loved it. Went very well with a small filet rather than a regualr baked potato.
