The payoff with these fries? A great source of potassium and beta-carotene.
1 lg yam and 1 lg russet baking potato (1 1/2 lb total), peeled and sliced into thin strips
Water for either rinsing, or misting potatoes
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp sea salt
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Combine the potatoes, misted with water, chili powder, garlic powder, and cumin in a bowl, and toss well. Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 25 minutes. Halfway through, turn the fries over, and continue baking. After removing them from the oven, sprinkle them with the salt. Serve immediately.

We make these a LOT, very tasty even without using any oils.
