I was in a french fry kind of mood. So today and tomorrow will be about fries because I decided to make two types the other day due to my indecision on what to cook. Both are baked meaning they are healthier, tastier and oh-so-delicious!!! Here's the first one. Baked Parmesan Sweet Potato Fries. I already did a herb version of these, so I decided to change it up and and make them thinner.
Can you hear them? They're calling out "eat me, eeeeeat me" (in a haunting voice). Sweet potatoes and cheese, I think is another winning combination right there. Besides, who doesn't like sweet potatoes? I hope there's no one out there who doesn't like them. That would make me sad. You don't want to make Little J sad. (*inserts tear-drop and puppy dog face*)
I had cut them 1/4-inch thick rather than 1/2-inch. You can peel them or leave the skins, its your choice. I coated them with some olive oil and grated parmesan cheese before baking and when they come out, they have a bit of a crisp cheese crust as well as a soft center. After baking, I tossed them in more cheese. You can never have enough cheese is what I say.
Serves 2
Baked Parmesan Sweet Potato Fries
2 medium Sweet Potatoes (peeled optional)
1 c grated parmesan cheese
olive oil
salt
Preheat you oven 450˚F
Cut the Sweet potatoes into 1/4-inch sticks.
In a bowl, toss them in a drizzle of olive oil. Then pour in 2/3 of the parmesan and a seasoning of salt, again toss well to coat each stick.
Place the fries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 30 min. Toss them every 10 min to give an even browning.

Ooh, I can definitely hear them calling to me! Is it bad to want fries for breakfast? I have always made baked sweet potato "fries", but I really like your addition of parmesan to increase the crisp factor.
I love sweet potaote fries! You don't really see them here in england, its a shame.
I not only hear them calling to me I hear them SCREAMING my name, they look and sound so damned delicious!
Love french fries, especially sweet potato fries. Parmesan addition is great idea Jenn!
nice touch with the parmesan. I could eat sweet potato fries any day!
I had my first sweet potato fries in Vermillion, Ohio when I drove from the Midwest to New York to start a new job. That was about two years ago.
Sounds delicious; I'll have to make them...
okay, i just simply have to have these, they look soooo good!
The sweet potato w/ the salty parm....definitely calling my name!! Delish :D
these fries with my over easy eggs this morning would be perfect....
The addition of Parmesan is almost inspired. I'm going to try this because I can never get my oven fries to crisp.
They sound terrific!
A local restaurant serves them here, with two dipping sauces, ranch and spicy barbecue...
