Sweet Potato Spicy Fries

Hylander · October 31, 2015

I made these at home last night.   1 large sweet potato made plenty for us two.   So take that as a measurement for however many you would be cooking for.
My thoughts are ,  when you are up the bondoo , you can still have tasty fries.    As I like them hot and spicy I added a good 1/2 tsp of cayenne.

INGREDIENTS
•     2medium sweet potatoes, rinsed and dried
•     2tablespoons vegetable oil
•     2teaspoons smoked paprika
•     1teaspoon coarse salt
•     1teaspoon freshly-cracked black pepper
•     1/2teaspoon cumin
•     1/4teaspoon cayenne (optional)

1.     Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
2.     1. Cut the potatoes into 1/4? thin strips, or to your desired thickness and length. Mix all other ingredients together in a large bowl and toss with the potatoes until they are evenly coated.
3.     2. Transfer the potatoes to a large baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Spread the potatoes in a single layer. Try not to overcrowd or have multiple layers of fries — you want them to be roasted, not steamed.
4.     3. Place in the oven and cook for 25-30 minutes, turning the fries once or twice during that time to cook evenly. May take more or less time, depending on the size and thickness you cut the fries.

We made these last night for dinner (not on the boat) and they were very good indeed. Will definitely try and cook them when we are afloat next season.
