Sweet potatoes are delish!
I agree with the first reviewer's husband, the yukon gold's are unremarkable when prepared according to the recipe. The sweet potatoes, however, are delish!!!
Pros: Sweet potatoes
Cons: Yukon gold potatoes

I've made these with olive oil, a little pepper and a little chile powder but didn't add salt. I also leave the skins on. Delicious! They are great to serve with a turkey burger! Yum!

When red bell peppers are dried, they are ground into tiny particles, making paprika.

Great recipe! When I make oven-fried wedges, I substitute garlic powder and onion powder for the paprika (taste preference). I *do* add paprika when I'm making mashed potatoes, however.

These fries were delicious. I left the skin on so one side was deliciously crispy but the other side was still somewhat soft.

My husband loves the sweet potato fries but doesn't care for the yukon gold ones. I thought both were very good!
