Spicy Sweet Potato Fries

Happy Halloween!  Although not a holiday I tend to spread around the house in the way of decorations, I don't mind serving foods that color coordinate - like the vibrant orange color of these Spicy Sweet Potato Fries.  Sweet potato fries are one of life's simple pleasures, and the aroma of them roasting in the oven is simply intoxicating.   I find even those who don't like sweet potatoes, usually love sweet potato fries.  No way, you say?  Maybe yesterday's recipe for Acorn Squash Bread is more your speed.
