This is the first sweet potato recipe in the blog. I would have cooked sweet potato may be a handful of times in the past years and when K came home with a couple of sweet potatoes, I was stumped wondering what interesting thing I can make with these. I didn’t want anything mushy and settled with these fries from the Costco cookbook. I followed the oven temperature and time mentioned in the recipe and the first batch turned black. I kept watching like a hawk for this second batch and it turned out good.
I am still going to call these wedges and not fries because they were only a bit crisp on the outside. Nevertheless I am posting it since we enjoyed it and it is also quick to make. No harm in trying easy things right. There are a lot of recommendations for crispy fries all over the net and I am going to keep trying them to see what works for me. I will add a new post when I get the crispy fries of my dreams 
. For now, let us enjoy these wedges. Off to the recipe from the Costco cookbook.

Amazing post!! I love these!!
thank you for ur reply
Healthy and delicious snack..
can i try with patato
This has brown sugar and I am not sure if that would go well with potato. You could try the same with chilly powder. I have a version of oven baked potato chips here.
