Sweet Potato Fries

I've been wanting to make these for a while, and thought today was the perfect time for a nice warm snack. In this recipe I just used one medium yam, which was enough for about 15-20 fries. You could definitely multiply this recipe as a side dish for the entire family.

Ingredients:
1 yam (sweet potato)
2 tbsp olive oil
salt
pepper

Directions:
1) Preheat oven to 400 degrees and place a baking sheet lined with foil in the oven.
2) Cut the yam in half long wise and width wise so you have 4 equal parts. Then slice these into about 6-7 equal pieces long wise.
3) Add these slices to a bowl and mix together with olive oil and desired about of salt and pepper to taste.
4) Take the baking sheet out of the oven and place the yam slices on the foil, but put this back in the oven for 15 minutes. Flip all the slices and bake for another 15 minutes.
5) When they are done they should be a little crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Let them cool on the pan for a few minutes. Eat with some ketchup or plain. Either way it's so yummy.
