Ingredients

Potatoes

• cooking spray
• 4 medium, about 7 oz each sweet potatoes, skin on
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 1/2 tsp paprika
• pinch cayenne pepper
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• Coarse salt and fresh-cracked pepper

Topping

• 1/2 bell pepper, sliced thin
• 1/3 cup sharp shredded cheddar cheese, I used Cabot
• 1/2 cup Pepper Jack light cheese
• 1 medium scallion, chopped
• pickled jalapeño slices
• 4 tbsp tomato, diced small
• 1 tbsp chopped cilantro
• sliced black olives, optional
• salsa, for dipping

Instructions

1. Heat the oven to 425°F. Lightly spray a baking sheet with oil.
2. Cut the sweet potatoes in half, the place the cut side down on a cutting board and carefully cut each half into 3 equal sized wedges. This will give you 24 wedges total.
3. In a large bowl, combine potatoes and oil; toss well. Season with paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, salt and pepper and toss to coat.
4. Place potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheets and bake in the center of the oven, uncovered for about 9 to 10 minutes on each side.
5. Remove from oven and place fries into four small oven-safe dishes (or one large dish for sharing), top with bell peppers, cheddar and jack cheese and return to oven for about 2 minutes, or until the cheese melts. Finish with scallions, jalapeño, tomato, cilantro and black olives. Serve with salsa on the side.
