serves 4
2 lb (1 kg) orange-fleshed sweet potatoes
2 Tbsp olive oil
Coarse sea salt
3 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
2 Tbsp chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 clove garlic, minced
Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
Rinse and dry the sweet potatoes. Cut the
unpeeled potatoes lengthwise into slices
1⁄2 inch (12 mm) thick, and then cut each slice
into batons about 1⁄4 inch (6 mm) wide and
3 inches (7.5 cm) long.
Place the potatoes on a baking sheet. Drizzle
with the oil, sprinkle with 1⁄4 tsp salt, and
toss to coat. Spread the potatoes out evenly.
Roast, stirring with a spatula midway through,
until the potatoes are tender and browned
on the edges, 20–25 minutes.
In a large bowl, stir together the Parmesan,
parsley, and garlic. Add the warm fries and
mix gently to coat. Season with salt and serve.
