Sweet Potato Fries


Yield: 8 servings.


4 Medium Sweet potatoes, or 2 pounds, peeled

1 Tbsp Olive oil, extra virgin

½ Cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Cooking spray

Procedure Steps Note: Preheat oven to 425° F.

1. Cut potatoes lengthwise into ½-inch-thick slices. Cut slices into ¼-inch-wide strips.

2. Place the strips in a large bowl and drizzle with the olive oil, tossing them to ensure even spread of the oil on all pieces.

3. Add the cheese and toss again to ensure even coating. Then transfer the potato sticks to a coated cookie baking sheet in one even layer.

4. Bake in the preheated 425° F oven for 35 minutes or until crisp and slightly browned. Turn the fries over every 10 minutes or so to assist in even cooking. Serve with the Sloppy Joe’s.
