Oven Method
- First, preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a baking pan with nonstick spray.
- Wash and pat dry potatoes. Slice each potato into fries. The thicker they are, the longer they take to cook.

Notes
- Japanese sweet potatoes have a burgundy purple skin and white insides. I buy them from Whole Foods.
- Avocado oil or melted coconut oil can replace olive oil.
- See blog post above for different flavor combinations.
- Air fry or bake until fries are crispy on the outside and fork tender on the inside.
- To test if they are done, take a fork and pierce middle of fries. If they are tender, they are done. If they are firm or hard, continue cooking.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
