  1. i love these sweet potato fries-- i ate them all the time this summer! i'm the only one in my family who loves sweet potatoes, so i changed the recipe to fit one person: i used 1 large sweet potato, 1/2 tsp cumin, 1/4 tsp chili powder and 1/4 tsp onion powder. for a little less mess i combined the spices in a large ziplock baggie. after cutting the sweet potato into fries i sprayed them with olive-oil flavored cooking spray, placed them in the baggie and shook to coat. then i baked them in a 475 deg oven for 12 minutes on each side-- they turned out delicious every time! thank you thank you thank you so much!
     
  2. First time I tried this I couldnt get the fries to get crispy. So instead of cutting the potatoes like fries I cut them like silver dollars and about 1/4 in thick, put them on a cookie sheet and flipped them once during cooking. Worked out much better. I also vary the spices from time to time.
     
  3. Yummy...I left mine in the oven a bit longer with the heat off to help crisp them up...loved the spices...made for "Autumn Fever" tag game...
     
  4. Made one potato for the two of us and added 1/8 t. cayenne. So good with our soft tacos.
     
  5. One word. YUMMO!!!

  1. Very good. I used cayenne pepper instead of chili powder and cooked mine for 30 minutes. Made for Ausie Swap #37.
