    I make thin rounds and "fry" them on my stove top griddle or in the George Foreman thing. I use cooking spray and season with a mix of ground Chipotle pepper and a little salt. Yum! - 7/2/08

    These were great! I did bake them for 35 minutes and probably could've gone 5-10 minutes more. I serve them with a side of bbq sauce and it was very yummy! I mixed up the oil and seasonings in a big ziploc bag and threw the cut up potatoes in there, closed it, and shook it up. Easy way to coat them! - 12/29/08

    I've made these many times now, and each time it's still ridiculously good. Everyone loves them. I leave out the salt and double the chili powder. Cut them thin and make sure they're not touching on the pan to get them crispy around the edges (still softer than regular fries, but oh so good). - 7/1/09

    I made these as a side dish for my Christmas luncheon and they were amazing! I put them on the bottom at 350 for 25 min (only because I had a brisket cooking on top) then moved them to the top rack at 450 for another ten min. They were pretty crispy and didn't burn at all! Thanks for the recipe! - 12/26/08

    yummy! Had tried to make sweet potato fries before with varying success, but these were delicious! Great spice combination (left out the onion powder) and went wonderfully with the portabella mushroom 'burgers' that on gluten free bread for me and me celiac friend! - 2/27/09

    I make sweet potatoes like this cut into rounds instead of fries. Usually I just use garlic and chili powder but I might have to try it with cumin next time. I never really liked sweet potatoes until I tried them this way. - 2/24/09

    We liked these fries. They do take about double the time listed to get even a little crispy, though so take that into account when you're making them. - 6/30/08

    YUMMY! My husband even liked these and he says he doesn't like sweet potatoes. Had to put the potatoes under the broiler a bit to crisp make them crispy. - 7/6/10

    Made this tonight. I didn't have cumin so added a bit of curry powder instead. Loved the spices but will have to agree with those who like crispier fries... would love to know how to crisp these up! Still, I'll make these again because I love sweet potatoes! - 1/8/10

    I tried these and they were awesome. Next time I will try the ziplock bag idea. My kids loved it and I couldn't stop snacking on them! - 1/6/09

    Excellent, but not spicy enough. I added hot pepper flakes and that did the trick. - 3/27/09

    Very tasty. Would definitely make again, although mine didn't turn out very crispy. Maybe if I cut them thinner next time. I did put mine under the broiler for the last few minutes to try to crisp them up a bit. - 1/22/09

    An awesome recipe! I definitely improvised on the seasoning, added some garlic, omitted the onion powder and chili powder, but added tobasco sauce. I cut the potato so there was some skin on every piece and that helped with the crunch. - 1/9/09
