Sweet Potato Fries

Have you tried sweet potato fries? If you haven't, you are really missing out. These things are so good and go so well with a variety of different dishes. Our favorite pairing is to eat them with turkey burgers or any kind of sandwich. Tonight we had them with BBQ chicken sandwiches. Sweet potatoes, or yams, are a staples in our house. They are a great item to have on hand for a quick dinner. They are simple to prepare, quick and take very few ingredients. I don't ever use an exact recipe. I simply peel the potato, slice it into fries, toss them with some olive oil and spices (steak seasoning, chili powder, thyme, rosemary, garlic, salt, pepper) and toss them in the oven at 425 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until they are slightly golden and crispy. You really can't go wrong with a combination of spices, just use whatever you have. They are wonderful dipped in hummus, katsup, or fry sauce. Give them a try!
