Hungry for fries? Slice potatoes into long thin wedges, toss with a little oil, salt and pepper, and pop them in the oven. They’ll crisp to perfection—irresistible.

1 pound sweet potatoes (about 2 small), scrubbed

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

¼ teaspoon paprika

Salt & freshly ground pepper to taste
