Ingredients:
- Large Yams or Sweet Potatoes (number to match the diners)
- Extra Virgin Olive oil
- Parchment Paper
- T.Bose ''Lil' Dumplin's Tater Peeler" (preferrably in CPM-154 with Ebony Handles).

Peel, and cut potatoes into 3/8" by 3/8" strips. Brush with olive oil, and spread on cookie sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake in hot/pre-heated oven ~ 425 - 450 degrees. Turn once or twice, keeping them un-layered as much as possible.
Don't burn them, but make them well done.
Just a little salt and pepper (and a little sprinkle of malt vinegar if you are Canadian!)
Yum!

Thanks Tony! A beauty of a working knife! She's gonna be cuttin' in about a half an hour!
No potatoes tonight, but tomorrow for sure. Tonight it's veggie kabobs and chicken breasts, on the grill, with a frosty mug of Extra Special Bitter!
My wife is working full time, keeping me in the manner to which I am accustomed!
Least I can do is have a little dinner ready for her when she comes home!;)
 
That knife is amazing! I'd love to get my wife something like that.

I got a nice chuckle at the scanning potatoes comment ;)
 
Yup, traditional old Ebony, Bass!

Jake, I've been known to post potatoes before! Here's a detailing knife Tony sent me a few years ago, and the first potato I cut with it!:D
I posted these back then, but couldn't find the posts.

Judging by the size of those yams, your scanner has an impressive depth of field. I've only scanned Yukon gold. Nice tribute potato too! :D

That's a beautiful set of knives!

In Quebec mostly, like Waynorth said. And we still call the regular ones french fries. That's the first time I've ever heard a Canadian utter the term freedom fries without a chuckle (or one of these :rolleyes:). Hey, I'm WITH you guys down south (no Axis of Evil supporter here), I just don't mix my politics with my junk food fix.
 
I was just havin' fun with Charlie. And I think Charlie used "freedom fries" light heartedly.

Although I'm not a fan of gravy (the phrase "it's all gravy from here" is lost on me), I'll definitely give poutine a try when in Quebec.
 
i'm am very fond of sweet tater fries, french or otherwise.
there is a place up in Montreal where gravy of pork fat is poured over the fries, sounds good to me
i keep a lid on a small pot of oil on the stove so i'm always ready to fry, at be da Cajun in me we guess, yes.... no?
