I received an email from my cousin Alan asking about the sweet potato fries and how to make them. I decided to go ahead and share that recipe here for anyone else who is interested.

Sweet Potato Fries

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees
• Slice sweet potato into french fry strips cutting lengthwise along potato. You can cut the sweet potato in half first if you wish to have shorter fries.
• Place cut sweet potatoes onto a baking pan / cookie sheet.
• Place into oven and bake for 10 minutes.
• Flip potato fries over and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until as crisp you want them.
• Season with your favorite seasoning. I recommend Mrs. Dash, chili powder, or any other low sodium seasoning.
• Enjoy!
