Sweet Potato Fries

8 large sweet potatoes

½ tsp Kosher salt

½ tsp fresh ground pepper

2 Tbsp Olive Oil

Olive oil nonstick spray

Preheat oven to 450 degrees

Wash potatoes, peel and rinse again under cold water.  Dry potatoes very well with paper towels.  Slice potatoes lengthwise in ¾ inch thick slices then cut into ½ inch to ¾ inch thick fries.  Place sliced potatoes in large mixing bowl.   Add salt, pepper and olive oil over potatoes and toss well.  Evenly space fries on cookie sheets making sure fries are not touching and all seasoning on the bottom of the bowl is sprinkled over fries.  Bake for 10-15 minutes and then flip with tongs.  Bake an additional 6-8 minutes depending on desired consistency. 

*Line clear plastic cups with white cocktail napkins and place fries standing up.  This makes for a great presentation and the napkins help absorb the oil.
