Sweet Potato Fries

[asianangel]

Can somebody tell me how to make sweet potato chips where they turn out crispy??? I've tried precooking, baking on non stick paper, frying...but nothing I do can make them crispy on the outside!!!! If anyone knows the secret please tell!!

Here's what I do ...

Slice the sweet potatoes in julianne strips (like french fries). Then I put them in a bowl and toss them with a couple tablespoons of olive oil.

Next, place them on a pan (one even layer) and put them in the freezer for 20 minutes. (I do this in bulk, and store in the freezer - in ziplocks - what I don't need for future recipes.)

Then, heat your oven to 400 Bake for 30 minutes (a hot oven is essential to crispy fries). Put your fries in the oven on a baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes and turn the fries ... then 10 minutes more.

Enjoy!
