There's nothing original about this happening in Merri's kitchen. Simple sweet potato fries with ranch dressing.
Facebook friends already had a field day with the sweet potato positioning so we will just leave that for now.
Preheat oven to 375 Fahrenheit.
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut into fry shapes all about the same size so they are all done at the same time. By the way, this was one large sweet potato.
Place the strips in a large bowl and drizzle olive oil over them and a few cranks of coarse sea salt.
Lay them out on a baking sheet, ensuring there is some space between them.
Bake 20 minutes and then turn the potatoes over. I found I needed to use a spatula rather than tongs or they stuck. Another 20 minutes and they were done. I could have left a few minutes more to get them crispier but I was hungry. Served with ranch dressing for dipping.
