SWEET POTATO FRIES
These addictive seasoned "fries" from Mark Bittman are actually baked, but we promise you won't miss the grease. The spice mix - garlic powder, paprika, salt and black pepper - can be used on regular potatoes as well (you'll just need to increase the baking time a bit).

OVEN-FRIED SWEET POTATO FRIES
I've tried several recipe but was never able to obtain a crispy exterior, so started experimenting! I've found that yellow sweet potatoes work better than yams. Don't crowd them, otherwise you'll have soggy fries! Time indicated does not include soak time for the potatoes. The roasting time may vary with thickness of potatoes!

Tips:
- For crispier fries, soak the sweet potato slices in cold water for 30 minutes before baking. This will help remove the starch and prevent the fries from sticking together.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the sweet potatoes into even-sized slices. This will help them cook evenly.
- Toss the sweet potato slices with olive oil, salt, and pepper before baking. This will help them brown and develop flavor.
- Bake the sweet potato fries in a single layer on a baking sheet. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from steaming.
- Flip the sweet potato fries halfway through baking. This will help them cook evenly on both sides.
- Serve the sweet potato fries hot with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular options include ketchup, ranch dressing, or honey mustard.
