Make Sweet Potato Fries for Babies
Use a kitchen knife to cut the potatoes into 1/8 to 1/4-inch thick pieces by slicing the potato in half down the middle, then slicing the halves into quarters and the quarters into 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick pieces. Generally, they should be around the size of "fast food" fries. Place them in a bowl along with the 1/4 cup of olive oil and toss or mix by hand to get an even coat of oil on all pieces. Cooking spray may be used in the place of olive oil cans sprayed directly onto the aluminum foil on the baking sheet.
Line the baking sheet with aluminum foil and space out the fries on the sheet in a single layer. Place them in the oven and bake for 45 minutes. Remove after cooking time with a pair of oven mitts and allow to cool before serving.
Sweet potatoes, also known as yams, are the tuberous roots of the dicotyledons plant. They range from orange to purple in color and are a distant relative of the baking or frying potato. Sweet potatoes are often served "candied" as a side, processed as a pie filling or sliced and deep-fried or baked. Sweet potatoes are also widely used as baby food in pureed form, though sweet potato fries can be given to babies that can masticate solid foods. - by eHow
