    Sweet potato fries are the best!
    To save energy (and kitchen heat w/500 degree oven) just parboil your sweet potato for a few minutes in water. Let it cool, peel and cut into bite sized pieces. Mix with seasonings and cook in 350 oven for 10 minutes or until they are fork tender. - 8/12/09

    I make these numerous times a week, have been for LONG time! To make cooking time shorter and cutting easier, I nuke my sweet potatoes in the microwave for about 30 seconds or less (any more and they mush like baked potatoes) I also preheat the pan in the oven so they dont stick to the pan. ;) - 10/16/09

    I've made these for a while now, not only for all the good stuff sweet potatoes contain, but because my husband loves them too! I bake in my toaster oven @ 425' for 30 min, flipping after 15 min. I HATE "sweet" potatoes, so I use only olive oil and salt, with organic catsup to dip. - 9/19/09

    Sweet potatoes are grown in abundance where I live so I cook with them often. If you don't like them spicy, try chopping some fresh rosemary on top and then during the last few minutes of baking, sprinkle some Parmesan cheese on top. Also, there is no need to peel them. - 12/10/09

    I never add sugar since they have natural sweetness. I like these with TONS of cumin (maybe 2 tsp for ONE s.p.) even better than paprika (probably use 1 tsp -- I don't measure, I go by eye). - 9/19/09

    They were way too spicy (and I'm a spicy food fan). Next time I'll cut the red pepper in half. - 8/5/09

    SERIOUSLY yummy! I followed the advice here and boiled for about 15 minutes, cooled down, peeled and put in the oven @ 350 for 10 minutes, turned over, then another 10 minutes. MY NEW FAVORITE FOOD! - 11/5/09

    I toss in a little bit of olive oil. Instead of par boiling, try microwaving 3/4 of the way - cuts the baking time way down and keeps them tender on the inside while crispy on the outside - 1/26/10

    Try using garlic and pepper only for your seasoning. It gives them a GREAT flavor! Trust me, if you like garlic, you'll like them this way! - 10/16/09

    I love this recipe! I toss the potatoes in a plastic bag w/oil & salt so no bowl to clean. Put the fries on a cookie cooling rack on top of the baking sheet to bake. Delicious! Going to try this today w/regular potatoes since I don't have any yams & w/out peeling. - 11/7/09

    I made this for dinner. I omitted the sugar and added cumin. Next time I think I will omit the ground red pepper and bake at 400. Thanks. - 9/19/09

    I made some adjustments - garlic salt instead of plain and 1/4 tsp. instead of 1/2. I also used cajun seasoning and eliminated the red pepper since I didn't have any. I baked at 400 degrees for 20 mins. Very good but hard to resist. Will make again, but only one portion at a time. - 10/17/09

    I have a pepper allergy, so left both the peppers (and salt) out - substituted seasoning salt instead, which worked really well for us.
    My husband hates sweet potatoes !00%, but loved these - he thought they were carrots so we let him think that's what he ate. Now he wants them all the time! - 9/27/09
