SWEET POTATO STEAK FRIES WITH CRUNCHY SPICES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Cut the skins off the sweet potatoes, squaring off the round sides to make each potato into a large rectangle. Cut into long fries about 1/4-inch thick and 1 inch wide. (If not using potatoes immediately, soak in water for up to 1 day. Drain and pat dry before cooking.)
• Put two large sheet pans in the oven to heat. Toss the potatoes, and skins if you like, with oil, paprika and 2 teaspoons of the salt. Arrange in one layer on the hot pans. (Don't use parchment paper; it will make the potatoes soggy.) Roast until tender and starting to brown on the bottom, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, grind the cumin, coriander and 1 teaspoon salt together. Mix in the brown sugar.
• Remove pans from the oven and raise the heat to 450 degrees, or set to broil. With a spatula, carefully loosen the fries and turn each one over. Sprinkle with the spice and sugar mixture. Return to the oven and bake just until the fries are blistered and sizzling vigorously, about another 5 minutes. (If your oven has a convection feature, use it.) Do not overcook, or the fries will become leathery. Cool slightly.

INDIAN-SPICED SWEET POTATO STEAK FRIES

Steps:

• Peel the sweet potatoes. If they are average size, cut them in half lengthwise. Lay each half flat on the cutting board and cut it into four slices. These should be between 1/4 and 1/2-inch slabs.
• Put the sweet potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle on the seasonings and then pour on the olive oil.
• Use your clean hands to toss the potatoes with the other ingredients until all is evenly distributed.
• Set aside and allow the potatoes to marinate for 1/2-hour or more, depending upon the timing of your meal.
• When you are ready to cook, spray a shallow sheet pan with a light coat of oil to prevent sticking and then pour out the potatoes, distributing them evenly and avoiding any stacking.
• Place the pan on the middle rack of an oven preheated to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake for about 30 minutes or until the fries are looking crisp. Serve hot.
