Sweet Potato Fries

By RossanaV

You can use either yams or sweet potatoes. Yams have a bright orange color and a stronger flavor, while sweet potatoes are white in color with a milder flavor. If cooking with Oven-Fried Chicken, you can lower the temperature to 425 degrees and bake about 5 minutes longer.

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Cut potatoes into half-inch slices or strips. Place potato slices in a plastic bag with oil and shake well to coat potatoes evenly. Arrange potatoes in a single layer and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown, turning potatoes halfway through cooking. Sprinkle with salt, if desired.
