I used to love making oven-baked potato and kumara (sweet potato) fries, but since I've been avoiding the nightshade family of foods for health reasons, I've been making carrot and parsnip "fries" instead - just cutting them into square fry shape, rubbing with olive oil, seasoning with salt and pepper, and roasting at 220 degrees celsius for half an hour. Really yummy, actually!
Do the kind from the bag count? I get the fat steak fries ones from Trader Joe's and pop them in the oven. I can make homemade homefries tho! Those are good. :) But whenever I try and make crunchy, skinny fries, they end up burnt. Ew.
Honestly not really. Unless I am preparing my greasy breakfast, which is like once every four months, I don't even eat potatoes.

Trader Joe's sells bags of pre-cut, fry shaped sweet potato spears...it's practically fail proof! Just use some olive oil as tamint says and season to taste! :p
i can't seem to get the sweet potato ones down but i'm determined!
ALWAYS! They are so much healthier, taste better, and they are so easy to make. I always use olive oil, and they are the yummiest when spices and hot peppers are added!
