Yam Fries with Feta (Greek Style)

Yam Fries with Feta

Yams or sweet potatoes?  It's the same thing to me!

There's something just a little boring about baking a plain old yam.  From time to time I like to just put them on a baking sheet and bake for an hour at 375F.  Once they come out of the oven, just peel off the skin and eat while still warm. This is probably the healthiest way of eating a yam.

On the other hand, I sometimes crave a little more flavour and therefore came up with my own version of yam fries with a Greek twist.

You can also bake your own version of yam fries by seasoning with your favourite spices (or plain old salt & pepper alone) and then toss in olive oil and bake.

I hope you enjoy the recipe below!
