sweet potato fries

These are addictive, and one of my favorite side dishes:

Preheat oven to 450.  Wash, peel and cut sweet potatoes into thin strips (a mandolin makes quick work of this otherwise labor intensive step).  Toss strips in olive oil to coat.  Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and sprinkle on some coarse ground salt.  Bake 20-25 minutes, turning once halfway through.  Try to leave them in one place long enough to get some light browning on the side touching the pan, then use a thin spatula to turn them, gently scraping them up from the bottom so they don't stick to the pan.
