Step 2Preheat the oven and peel the sweet potato!
Set the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
You can either peel the potato or leave the skin on - lately I leave it on every time. It adds nutrition and a nice chewy texture. :D
I don't worry about washing it, normally, but you can rinse it in the sink as long as you promise me you'll dry it off very, very well. If it's still wet the olive oil won't coat the fries as well, which will lead to soggy fries. And then you'll be disappointed with the fries and I'll be disappointed with you. :(

I love this recipe! But I am just concerned about you leaving the peels on! Sweet potato peels are actually toxic and you are not supposed to eat them!

The skins are poisonous to dogs. As long as they are scrubbed and mold free they are perfectly healthy to eat.

Yet, if you buy conventionally grown ones, you should peel them before eating since sometimes the skin is treated with dye or wax; if preparing the sweet potato whole, just peel it after cooking"
