Sweet Potato Fries

When I am craving a burger I always make these fries.  I got this idea from an old roommate I lived with over in Logan Square between 2007-2009.  Her name was Dalila and she always had this regal quality to the foods she made. 

Ingredients:
1-2 sweet potatoes, chopped into fry slivers.  The thinner it is cut the shorter time it takes to cook.
1/4 cup of olive oil
1/2 teaspoon of Salt
1 tablespoon of Rosemary- these are all REALLY estimations.

Preheat oven to 375.  Pour a thin layer of olive oil on a baking sheet, make sure it covers the whole area is spread evenly, and is not too thick.  Sprinkle chopped Sweet potato slivers on baking sheet and spread them evenly over the sheet.  Sprinkle salt and rosemary to taste.  I like a lot of rosemary.  I would normally bake for about 15 minutes but it really depends on how thin the potato are sliced.  They should be easily pierced with a fork. 

Sweet potatoes are good for constipation or diarrhea.  Added with olive oil they make have more of a benefit with constipation.  They also treat excessive thirst, and weak kidneys.  With its action on the kidneys, men with premature ejaculation or impotence problems would benefit with sweet potatoes.    The rosemary is great for different types of pain.  I would not necessarily say joint pain although it may help.  I would say mostly it is great for abdominal cramping around a woman's period and the common tension headache.
