Made mine shoe-string and followed the recipe. I think the paprika was wonderful, though I did add some salt after trying them. For those saying they aren't crisp, just accept that they won't be. Nor is there anything in the recipe that says they will be, so please don't knock the recipe for that. These aren't fried they are baked. I baked mine on a wire rack and they still didn't crisp up. Fact is you have to fry them to get them crunchy. But though they aren't crunchy, they are very tasty. Surprisingly, even with them cut as shoe-strings, they took over 25 minutes to cook, so keep your timing in mind. Anyway, thanks for a great recipe. I will make these again.

This recipe was the basic idea of what I wanted so I took recommendations from other reviewers. I did not want to eat the skin so I peeled and thinly sliced 1 large Yam, more than enough for 2 people. I also used a plastic bag to shake the ingredients. You can use your own preferred spices. I copied another reviewer who used cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and brown sugar. Don't forget the olive oil. I was light on the olive oil and mine were a little dry. I think a good coating will help with that next time. Since I cut mine thin, I reduced the cooking time down to 20 min. which I found to be a definite time saver. They probably could have been checked at 15 min. Since yams are so good for you and my boyfriend liked them I will be making them again. I may alter it and try new spices just to see what I'm missing. Like garlic and paprika.

So EASY! Not only do these taste wonderful, but so they are so much healthier (tastier too) the traditional deep fried potatoe style french fries. The kids even love them!

Eat them hot, cold, or at room temperature... they are good either way... but then again I love sweet potatoes... like other reviews I experimented with other spices... the classic cinnamon and brown sugar was good... so was garlic salt... and paprika was good.... I guess what ever flavor you want to go for give it a try... I put the sticks in a zip-lock bag with the oil and tossed to coat then sprinkled the seasoning over the top... experiment with this one to find what you like if your not a fan of paprika

Was really excited about this recipe as a great way to get my toddler to eat this super food, however they just didn't turn out well. They were really soft when I expected them to be at least a little crisp. The taste was okay, but I'd rather just make baked sweet potatoes.
