This is a dish my wife loves so much, when I tell her that I'm making them she starts to jump up and down like a little girl. What a pansy. Kidding aside, they are really easy to make. About five minutes of prep, throw them in the oven for an hour and enjoy. Ingredients (serves 4) 3 medium Sweet Potatoes 2 tbsp melted coconut oil 1 tsp paprika salt & pepper to taste Method: Warm the oven to 400F. Cut potatoes lengthwise in 1/8 strips. (Cut in half, cut the halves into quarters, and the quarters into eights) Place potato strips in a large mixing bowl.
