Oven baked fries

We had beef dips for dinner the other night and I wanted to do fries but didn't want them to be deep fried so I decided to do oven baked fries. I did a combination of russet potatoes and yams. They turned out great, easy to make and the boys loved them which made me happy.

Ingredients

• 3 russet potatoes, scrubbed and cut in 1/4 inch thick slices (do not peel)
• 2 yams, scrubbed and 1/4 inch thick (do not peel)
• olive oil
• salt
• pepper
• garlic powder

Heat the oven to 425 degrees.

Place potatoes and yams in a bowl, drizzle with oil and season with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Mix to combine. Ensure potatoes and yams are coated with the oil.

Line a cookie sheet with foil or parchment paper, spray lightly with cooking spray. Spread out evenly. Bake 20 minutes, flip and back an additional 20 minutes (until tender and golden).
