Ingredients




Vegetable oil spray

3 pounds red-skinned sweet potatoes (yams), peeled, cut into ½”-wide slices, then again into ½”-wide strips
1/2 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme or ½ tsp. dried
2 garlic clove, minced
2 eggs, well beaten
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt & ¼ tsp black pepper
1 cup breadcrumbs

Preparation

1 Preheat oven to 500°F. Spray large baking sheet with vegetable oil spray. 2 Combine thyme, garlic, salt, pepper, breadcrumbs and half of parsley. Toss to mix. 3 Dip sweet potatoes into egg, shake off excess and toss in breadcrumb mixture to coat. 4 Spread sweet potatoes in single layer on prepared baking sheet (don’t crowd the pan). Bake until fries are tender and golden brown, turning occasionally, about 30 minutes. Transfer sweet potatoes to platter.  Sprinkle with remaining parsley.

About


In a creative twist on the classic burger companion, ruby yams replace potatoes and they are baked rather than deep-fried.  People are absolutely crazy about these golden, crispy fries.
