Uh Oh. Sweet Potato.

It was time to use those sweet potatoes or they would end up spoiling hidden at the back of the veggie bin since Matt and I both hated them with a passion. After thinking long and hard I remembered something I had eaten at a restaurant but done with yellow potatoes. So I decided to try something similar. Here is what I came up with and guess what? We ate them!! They weren't awful, they were actually quite tasty. Pretty rich though so we could only eat a couple at a time.

Parmesan sweet potato oven fries

And here's how I did it. (approximately, I never actually measure anything!)

1/2 cup flour

Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

2  egg whites

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese-I prefer a minimum 12 month aged, but any should do.

4 sweet potatoes cut into wedges (I got about six wedges per potato)

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Stir together the flour and salt.

Beat the egg whites with 1.5 tablespoons of water until combined.

Dip a wedge first in your flour, then in the egg white and roll it in parmesan. I put the parmesan on a plate with a paper towel on it to make it easy.

Line 'em up on your baking sheet and grind pepper onto them. I used quite a bit because we like pepper around here! Bake until they are crispy on the outside and soft in the center. Mine took 30 minutes.

You might want to sprinkle on a little more salt when they're done, but taste first. It will depend on how salty your cheese is.
