--SWEET POTATO HOME FRIES-- (SKrink's Super Salivatory Comfort Food!) 2

I make this stuff at least once a week. A huge heaping plate of sweet potato home fries, fishsticks, whippits and lots of Futurama... The recipe took alot of tweaking to get the spice ratio and cooktime right, but it's bloody simple and surprisingly comforting (the end texture is not what you'd normally associate with fries.)
Here's what you need:
INGREDIENTS

- Sweet potatoes, 3 lbs (or 3 medium-large sweet potatoes. Yams will work too.)
- Extra light olive oil (or canola oil, or whatever light oil you're used to)
- Paprika, 1 tsp.
- Cinammon, 1 tsp.
- Cumin, 1/2 tsp.
- Salt, 1/8 tsp.
- Rosemary, 1 TBsp.
- Parsley/tarragon, 2 tsp.
- Brown sugar, ~1 cup (or 2 generous handfuls of a petite-handed person)
STEPS 1) Preheat oven to 400F.

2) Wash, peel and cut Sweet Potatoes into ~ 1/4 inch thick slices.

3) Line a LARGE baking tray with aluminium foil, then coat generously with Extra Light Olive Oil (or oil of your choice)

4) Arrange Sweet Potato slices on baking tray in a single layer.
 This can get frustrating trying to fit them all on, so I'd advise to use the largest tray you have. Mine's about 15" x 20". Pack em in close, put any thicker slices on the outside.
5) Bake for 20 minutes.

6) While its in the oven, prep the spices. In a large mixing bowl, throw together your Paprika, Cinnamon, Cumin, Salt, Rosemary, and Parsely/tarrogon.

Then add 4 TBsp. Extra Light Olive Oil (or whatever oil).

Mix well.

7) At the end of 20 min, pull out the tray from the oven.
 The fries should look slightly cooked and smell awesome.
Scoop all the fries from the tray into the large mixing bowl.
 This is where you'll be glad you coated the tray generously with oil.
Toss/mix to coat evenly with the spice mix.

8) To the mixing bowl of evenly spice-coated fries, add the Brown Sugar.

Again, mix it all up evenly.

9) Dump the contents of the mixing bowl back onto the baking tray.
 Spread the fries out as best as you can. Don't leave them in a heap.
10) The tray goes back into the oven for another 15-20 minutes.
Time may vary depending on what kind of tray you're using and how closely packed the fries are. If you're worried, check on them at the 15 min mark, then every 5 mins after, until...
11) When you start seeing the edges of smaller fries getting charred black, and the majority of fries are a nice brown, its time to take em out.

12) Plate up and serve!

It's excellent on its own, just don't expect any crispy macdonalds style fries from this.
What you'll get is an amazingly chewy, soft-with-a-crunch, crazy satisfying mess that can only be eaten with a fork. Plus sweet potatoes are very high in fiber and Vitamin A.
3lbs of sweet potato fries serves dinner for 2 skinny hippies, or 1 homeless guy, or as a side for a family of 5 at Thanksgiving.
Prep time: 20min. Cook time: 40-45 min.
For the braver souls among you, break out a jar of mayonnaise because that's when it starts getting reaaaally spectacular.
(Europeans have been on to this fries-and-mayo thing for ages, it's time America caught up!)

You mean 1/4 inch thick fries? You can cut em thinner if you want, but I've found that not only do they shrink a little after baking, it also makes it easier on you for cutting. Unless you have a super sharp knife, its hard to get uniform thickness out of potatoes when you're slicing thin.

Also europeans put vinegar on fries sometimes. Also better than ketchup.

UPDATE
Guess what I got for Christmas!
 NORPRO Deluxe Fry Cutter/Fruit Wedger Set
This thing has 3 different cutting settings: fat fries, skinny fries, or wedges.
Of course I tried out the fat fries first.
BUT! It's sort of a lightweight device. Which meant that it didn't have the heft needed to slice up a raw sweet potato.
I had to halve my sweet potatoes and boil them for awhile to soften them up... only then could the machine do its job.
That kinda threw off my usual fry-making procedure/bake times. And the boiling altered the end texture of the fries.
Needs some finetuning for sure, but the bliss of having uniformly-shaped fries (more or less) makes flipping them a breeze, plus the machine is just fun to use

Very happy that people are liking it!
Usually when I whip something up, I'm the only one who finds it yummy. To everyone else its a bastard version of what they're used to so they smile politely, gulp it down, and say they're full. (eg: frozen sweet potato fries, which are alot milder in spice/taste, and firmer in texture)
