Baked Sweet Potato Fries {Paula Dean}

I made these last night and they were YUMMY!! My kids will not eat sweet potatoes {crazy kids}, but they sure gobbled these up.

Ingredients:

House Seasoning:
1 cup salt
1/4 cup black pepper
1/4 cup garlic powder

Olive Oil, for tossing
5 sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch long slices, then 1/4-wide inch strips, using a crinkle cut knife

1 tablespoon House Seasoning
1/2 teaspoon paprika


Directions
House Seasoning:
Mix ingredients together and store in an airtight container for up to 6 months.

Fries:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
Line a sheet tray with parchment.
In a large bowl toss sweet potatoes with just enough oil to coat.
Sprinkle with House Seasoning and paprika.
Spread sweet potatoes in single layer on prepared baking sheet, being sure not to overcrowd. Bake until sweet potatoes are tender and golden brown, turning occasionally, about 20 minutes. Let cool 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
