Japanese Sweet Potato Slices
Tasting Notes
These are delicious, quick and easy to make snack. I use the Japanese varietal because they are starchier and sweeter. I prefer these potatoes to the garnet variety because they are not as bitter as the Garnetts and their flesh is a little sturdier and grainier.

Bake the Sweet Potato Pieces 20 Minutes
Turn the oven onto 350. Place the sweet potato pieces in a baking pan and place in the oven for 40 minutes. At about 30 minutes check the potatoes. They are finished when you can stick a fork or knife through them easily or they break in half easily. Be Careful not to cook them too long as they will become mushy.
