Sweet potatoes fries are a staple around here. I don't actually "fry" them though. I do them in the oven, so much healthier than frying. I cut the sweet potato in strips. Put a tablespoon (or so) of olive oil in a bowl. Add a dash of cayenne and toss the fries in the oil mixture. Bake in a 450 deg oven for 20 minutes and they're done.

My husband does the cooking at our house - for about the last 10 or 12 years. He makes awesome spf. I asked him how he does it. He bakes store bought frozen ones on a pizza pan in the oven twice as long as the directions say to cook them. Some of them turn out pretty dark but they are still delicious and very crunchy! I love them. Even my Avatar, Josie Marie, loves them.

This is the way we do them with the exception of the cayenne. We like to make them steak fry size. We keep sour cream on hand to dip.

I make mine like Frizzle. I vary the spices. they are also good with a little sprinkle of cinnamon. Sometimes I just pulled different spices out of the cabinet and dump on whatever strikes my fancy that day. Baking them on a stone helps. We have them often. We have lots of sweet potatoes from our garden.
They are also good either cut as fries or cubed with a mixture of agave nectar and olive oil sprinkled with cinnamon. You can also use honey but we prefer the agave.
