    2. Peel 6-7oz Sweet Potato
    3. Cut thick (1/2") strips, in the style of "home fries"
    4. Lightly spray both sides of fries using Olive Oil cooking spray. Nutritional values include a total of 2 seconds of spray
    5. Lightly salt, then sprinkle with garlic powder on both sides
    6. Grill 5 minutes on both sides, or until they look almost soft, but not mushy

    Man, these are amazing.
    I could not stand cooked sweet potatoes. Now I eat them everyday with taste.
    Thanks a lot man! So simple, yet didn't think of it.
    Potato=fries, sweet potato=sweet fries.. no sh!t.

    OMG i just tried a new way of seasoning them and it is FREAKIN AWESOME!!

    Spray them with olive oil spray, and then before you cook them, COAT them in Morton's Nature's Season seasoning salt and then sprinkle with cayenne pepper. it is REALLY good. you have to use morton's nature's seasoning, not just any kind of seasoning. they sell it in the spice aisle annd it is in a yellow bottle with a blue top. here's a picture

    If your diet allows this.....try adding some honey to them and spice as well. You get the salt and sweet taste.....damn good

    just wanted to add on to this....

    i make mine without the salt and garlic powder... but then after theyre done, i use a little bit of spray butter or cooking spray on them (just to get them moist) then sprinkle with splenda and cinnamon (which sticks to the spray butter).

    just like eating a dessert

    I've tried baking them as 'fries', but they end up very soft and mushy. I'll try grilling them tonight, love me some sweet 'taters

    Try coating them in an egg white bath before baking. Check my blog for the recipe.

    My only problem is I cant cook enough of these fast enough. i got 2 cookie sheets going at once now. About 3-4 cut up at a time. Spray each with EVOO and dust with some tony cacheres (sp) then lay on thick fries. spray and season. Then bake at 350 for 45 to 60. I like them soft. Unfortunately my Kroger raised them to 1.13/lb form .99

    I tried this tonight. I used two medium sized sweet potatoes and cut them into thin french fry/home fry pieces and baked them in the over flipping them halfway through. Seasoned with cajun powder prior to baking and they were very good (will use less seasoning next time if any at all)

    *Damn. sorry for bumping an old thread*

    im not one for kitchen gadgets but i must say my wife bought a slicer from walmart for like $9. its the kind you see on tv for slicing and dicing. flat white slicer for making chips and julianne style stuff. its great because its small and it cuts the potatoes into perfect size-thickness. you can slice up a yan or sweet potatoe in about 45 seconds.

    i spray flat pizza pan with olive oil and throw them in. only takes about 6-8 minutes on each side and perfect. makes me think im eating potatoe chips and cheating.
