Well if you like sweet potato fries you may like how we make ours.  Just like tator's peel and slice em up to the size you like.  I use a 9 x 13 stone with a lip.  Pour a little olive oil onto your stone.  Layer your sweet potato's on the stone. I use the honey bear and just squirt honey all over.  Than I sprinkle cinnamon on top of that.  Bake for about and hour.  Sprinkle some powdered sugar over them if you like.  They are sweet enough as is for me but the powdered sugar is good too.  I've never put ginger on my homemade fries before.  Did you use fresh ginger root or ginger spice?

  I always make my own fries in the oven.  I make a lot and freeze them so I will always have some.  Not sure how healthy putting cheese on them.

I do this with sweet potatoes :)

The only comment I can offer is the choice of oil used in the baking process. Olive oil is the healthiest choice, canola is good but less so than the olive oil. Using lard or vegetable oils really puts you back in the frying pan mode to a great degree.

Another thought, olive oil in aerosol form is available and is great for the baking method.

that's sounds yummy.  my favorite is melted cheese pour over fries and sometimes I eat it with just mayonnaise and catsup.

Home made is always the best!!!!  Maybe you would even like making your own "potato chips" - just slice the potatoes really, really thin and fry quickly, drain, salt and yum!!!!!!!!!!!!
