Dear Readers,
Have you ever tried to make your own fries? It is very simple and easy. I actually like to use sweet potatoes and yams instead of regular potatoes. If you have never eaten a sweet potato before, try making a combination of all three. You will see that you will actually favor the sweet potatoes because they are sweet and satisfying. Baking is a great alternative to cut down on the fat. Baking is a better options that frying. Also, try making them from scratch because the frozen fries are usually loaded with fat and strange ingredients our bodies do no need to ingest.
Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled (2 medium potatoes)
1/2 pound yam, peeled (1 medium yam)
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more, to taste
Cooking spray
Directions
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
Cut the potatoes lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick matchsticks, and toss with the oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet and bake until the "fries" are tender and crisp, about 30 minutes.
Season with additional salt, to taste. Serve immediately.
