Notes

If you prefer unseasoned sweet potato fries, toss them with oil and then sprinkle with salt and pepper. You can then follow the directions as written.
I like serving sweet potato fries with "fry sauce," which in Utah is equal parts mayonnaise mixed with ketchup. I also like to add just a touch of bbq sauce to mine for a little smokey fry sauce!
