Ooh, I like sweet potatos prepared that way. But yeah, they don't get very crisp

First try slicing them very thinly - VERY important. Toss with your oil & seasonings. I like to use taco seasoning, I know sounds gross, but it's good! Then bake in a very hot oven, at least 400 degrees for 10 min. Turn them over and bake for another 10 to 15 min or until they start to get crisp.

My family LOVES them cooked this way. I've had to adjust my methods because mine turned out mushy the first time I tried them too.

Good luck!

Hi,

I make yam fries all the time! Our daughter cannot have potatoes but can have yams and sweet potatoes!

Our recipe is incredibly complicated :-)

Cut 1 large or 2 medium yams into nice french fry size.

Toss with olive oil

Bake at 400F for at least half an hour, usually 40 minutes. If the bottom starts to brown, just flip them.

For some reason this maintains a great sweet taste, and a similarity to home made baked french fries, not quite as crunchy.

We still have ours with ketchup.

I make these all the time with olive oil and salt and pepper and slicing thin helps. A high temp of 400 is best I think and I love it when the edges start to carmelize. My oldest son thinks they're burnt and so we all end up with the parts we love I guess.

I recommend trying them again, Tammy. :)

I just saw a recipe similar to this in that free food magazine that Kraft puts out. Did you happen to see it in there? They have some good recipes that are simple and fast for busy nights. I recommend it.

Those look good! Would they turn out better with baker potatoes maybe??

Try frying them. =D Slice them thin and fry them, in oil. If you use a lot of oil, like deep-frying them, they should be crispy.
