baked sweet potato fries



These things are delicious!! I think I might even like them better than regular fries. I love the sweet I get from the potato and the salty I get from the ranch (because everyone knows how much I love ranch right? lol) Ketchup just wouldn't do. It MUST be ranch. MmmMm. Tony loves these things too, he's always asking me to make them. 
Every time I see photos of these recipes though, their fries are always orange...I can't tell if they just have different sweet potatoes or if they are using yams instead. I just stick to the one that's labeled "sweet potato" at the grocery store :)

Ingredients:
- 1 sweet potato, (about 5" long) peeled and cut into 1/4" fries
- 2 tsp olive oil
- about 1/2 a dry packet of Zesty Italian dressing, or to your taste preference
- few shakes of garlic powder 

Directions:
-Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
-In a medium bowl, toss sweet potatoes with olive oil, italian dressing powder and garlic powder. 
-Spread potatoes on a baking sheet or on top of a cooling rack. Avoid crowding so potatoes get crisp. Bake 15 minutes. Turn and bake an additional 10-15 minutes. Ovens may vary so keep an eye on them and be sure to cut all the potatoes the same size to ensure even cooking.
