Ingredients
2 medium sweet potatoes peeled (optional) and cut into fries
2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and place a baking sheet inside to heat.
2. Peel and slice sweet potatoes into ¼-inch thick fries.
3. Soak fries in cold water for 30 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
4. In a large bowl, toss fries with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
