Simple Sweet Potato "Fries"
2 large sweet potatoes, about 3/4 pound each
3 to 4 teaspoons olive oil
Optional seasonings: salt and pepper; ground cumin; cinnamon and brown sugar; chili powder; Chinese five spice; Apple or Pumpkin Pie spice, as desired to taste
1. Preheat the oven to 425 (for soft fries) or 500 (for crispy).
2. Scrub the potatoes well and dry with a paper towel. Using a very sharp chef’s knife, cut the unpeeled potatoes in half (length-wise), in quarters and then into strips. Place in a large bowl. Drizzle with 3 teaspoons of oil and toss to coat well. Add additional oil only as needed. Spread onto a baking sheet in a single layer.
3. Roast for 30 minutes, turning one time half way through. Remove from oven and season as desired, or pass seasonings at the table. Serve immediately.

What you're saying..
I must confess, I have a new favorite cookbook – Cheap. Fast. Good! I have cooked many, many dishes from it. I love the poached chicken (mine always seemed tough before this recipe). The Flexible Mexican Filling is also a big hit at my house. I use this cookbook several times a week. Please keep up the great work.
