How to Make Sweet Potato Greek Fries
Start by preheating the oven to 400 degrees. Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into long sticks. An optional additional step for a crispy fry it to soak the cut potatoes in a bowl of water. This allows some of the starch to be released which you will see in the water as it turns white. Patch them dry (if soaking) and place in a even single layer on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Bake for about 15 minutes and flip the fries and cook for another 15 minutes or until they become tender and crispy. Remove the fries from the oven and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. Then transfer the fires to a serving dish and sprinkle with dried oregano and feta cheese. Then they are ready to serve!
