Recipe for home-made sweet potato fries

Home-Made Sweet Potato Fries

2-3 Sweet Potatoes
1/2 cup of Brown Sugar
1 tsp of cinnamon
Salt
1 tbsp butter
1 cup of olive oil

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Cut the sweet potatoes into thin strips, and toss them into a roasting pan with half the brown sugar, the cinnamon, and the butter (cut up into pieces and spread evenly throughout the pan).  Stir to make sure everything is spread evenly.  Cover with tin foil and bake in the oven for about 20-30 minutes.  Depending on how thin you cut your strips, you may need more or less.

Sweet potatoes just came out of the oven!

After you pull the sweet potatoes out of the oven, heat up some olive oil in a wok.  A few at a time, put the sweet potato strips in the wok until slightly browned (2-3 minutes).  Pull them out, and place them in a bowl lined with a paper towel.  Toss them with salt and the remaining brown sugar.

Eat once they are cool enough to handle!  Yum.
