Chili-Lime Sweet Taters

At Berea Fest last year Eric Ayotte told me that he eats a sweet potato every day. I only remember this because at first i was pretty impressed. But then i began to wonder how you can eat a sweet potato every day and not get sick of them. I wish he'd give me some of his recipes. I'd trade him for this sassy one.

Sweet Potato Fries (plain)
depending on how many people you are intending to feed, 1-infinity sweet potatoes
olive oil
salt

1,Take a potato
2. slice it in half
3. slice the half in half
4.slice those halves into thirds or so
Thats just how i do it. It makes nice professional looking fries, but do what you want.
Lay them flat on a baking sheet and drizzle lightly with olive oil
salt generously
to chili-limeize
1 tablespoon lime zest
dash of lime juice
1/3 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
dash of pepper and perhaps a pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne if you like 'em kicky

mix all the ingredients together and toss with potato slices, then bake as described above.

Oh, I forgot to include baking instructions! I don't even preheat my oven really for these. I just set it at about 350 and put them in. Potatoes aren't temperamental to temperatures, its not like you're making a souffle or something, they'll just cook as the oven heats up. It kind of takes a while, depending on how many you have. Count on it taking around 30 minutes, but check them often. They'll be done when you stab a fork into one of them and its soft. I like to keep going a little while longer so they get slightly crispy.
