Baked Sweet Potato Fries

I love that sweet potato hash, but it was a revelation to me that you can just pop sliced sweet potatoes in the oven and pull them out soft and tasty like 20 minutes later.  Here are two ways to get some nice additional flavors in there:

Spicy Sweet Potato Fries

1 sweet potato
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp oregano
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp dry mustard

Cut the sweet potato into fries, not more than 1/2 inch wide.  Toss with oil and spices, then put on a baking sheet.  Cook at 425 degrees for about 25 minutes.

Bacon-Wrapped Sweet Potato Fries

1 sweet potato
about 1/2 lb bacon

This time cut the sweet potato into slightly smaller fries; the original recipe I went off of says pinky-finger width.  Then cut the strips of bacon in half both ways.  Wrap each piece of bacon around a fry; if you have extra sweet potato you can put it in the tray to soak up bacon renderings.  Cook about 15 minutes at 425, then broil to crisp up.
