Sweet Potato Fries

Last week we covered how to make Salmon patties.  They're very tasty, but on their own they don't make a really filling meal.  So, you serve them with some Sweet Potato fries!  They're pretty easy to make, but can take a while, so prepare them in advance.

Ingredients:
Water
Kosher Salt (or Sea Salt)
1~2 Sweet Potato(es)
Olive Oil

Equipment:
1 plastic container/bowl large enough to fit the sweet potatoes
1~2 cookie sheets
spatula

Directions:
1. Peel (optional) and slice the sweet potato(es) into fry-shapes. (If unpeeled, make sure to wash them!)
2. Place them into the bowl and cover with water.
3. Add kosher salt to the water, and mix until dissolved.
4. Cover and allow sweet potato(es) to sit in the salt water for at 30 minutes to an hour.
5. Preheat oven to ~450 degrees Fahrenheit.
6. Place the sweet potato pieces onto the cookie sheets.
7. Sprinkle olive oil onto the sweet potato pieces.
8. Place in oven until cooked all the way through.

One large sweet potato should make plenty for a party of 5~6.

Possible alterations:
This recipe could easily be adapted to using regular potatoes.  One can also add spices on the fries after they come out of the oven, or possibly bake them in after the olive oil is applied.  I've seen recommendations of using taco seasoning, but I haven't tried it.  If you try it, please let me know how it goes!

Happy Gaming!
