love these!! :flowerforyou: :heart: :drinker: :blushing: :smile: :wink: :tongue: :love:

sweet potato (one potato usually serves 3-4 people)
extra virgin olive oil or canola
cornstarch
seasoning of your choice

-remove peel from potato
-cut potato into strips..(not to thick or they will take way longer to cook)
-soak in water for 30 minutes
-toss in cornstarch
-lay fries on a baking sheet and drizzle evoo over them and toss the fries again to cover them with the oil
-add seasoning
-assemble fries with plenty of space between them on a baking sheet (doesnt cook well when theyre crowded together)
-bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes (depending on thickness of fry)
- once cooked i usually add a little bit more seasoning cause i love flavor..lol..enjoy
**(watch these carefully cause they will burn at the edges) **

    i like to use a variety..just depends on what im in the mood for..(spicy chipotle seasoning), (garlic and salt) (cinnamon, paprika, and salt) (cajun seasoning) or (brown sugar). All of them taste great!!

    hmmm..wonder what went wrong..sometimes if you dont space them out far enough they dont crisp and just start steaming which makes them soft..so its not a good idea to put a bunch of them on one baking sheet. it could be the baking sheet you cooked them on..i usually use a dark coated pan..could be the altitude of where you live which can make a big difference of the oven temp you need to use..or even the thickness of the fry size..i know when i first started baking them it took me a few tries cause they would turn out soggy.. but i kept making adjustments and finally perfected it..
