I always enjoy French fries with garlic and parmesan. This variation includes pre-baked sweet potatoes to cut down on total fat and adds a fresh flavor as well as a healthy serving of vitamin A. My household adores it.

Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- ¾ cup olive oil, divided
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
Instructions
- Poke the sweet potatoes along their sides with a fork. Microwave the sweet potatoes, laid out in a circle in the microwave, until soft, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Slice the potatoes, across their width, into 1/2-inch slices. Separate them so they’re not sticking together. Put 1/4 cup of olive oil into a small cup. Brush that oil onto the flat surfaces with a pastry brush. Pour any remaining oil over potatoes.
- Put the oiled sweet potatoes into a gallon-sized zip-top bag. Add Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and salt. Shake the bag thoroughly for 1 minute. Manipulate the pieces with your hand (from the outside) to make sure all pieces get exposed to the cheese and powder.
- Heat remaining 1/2 cup of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully pour the sweet potatoes into the skillet. Cook, moving the pieces around and flipping periodically, for 7 minutes. Remove from heat and serve.
