Yam and Sweet Potato Fries

These are my favorite type of fries to make. It really brings out the sweetness of the yams and sweet potatoes, that you really don't need much else seasoning to make it better. All you need is a little drizzle of olive oil, and salt and pepper. I added some cinnamon and paprika too.

To make it crispy, you'll need to make sure not to drench the yams/sweet potatoes in too much olive oil. Also, halfway through the baking, my baking sheet was a little soaked from the olive oil, so I replaced it with a dry one. I ran out of yams so I substituted remaining with sweet potatoes, but it still turned out great and tasty.



Recipe:
1-2 medium/large yams or sweet potatoes or a combination
less than 1/4 cup of olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp of cinnamon
1 tsp of paprika

1. Preheat the oven at 425 degrees.
2. Wash the yams, sweet potatoes. Slice them about 1/4 inch thick, but not too thin.
3. Place in a large mixing bowl or tupperware (that has a lid). Drizzle the olive oil, salt, pepper, cinnamon, paprika and shake (with lid on) until thoroughly mixed.
4. Place fries on a baking sheet on a single layer.
5. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Halfway through, flip and replace the baking sheet if it's not dry.
6. Remove from oven and let it cool.
