Excellent, thanks Sam! At my house we call these sweet potato “fries” and we (or at least I) do want to have them at every meal.

Though they are sometimes interchangeable in recipes, the sweet potato (Ipomea batatas) and the yam (genus Dioscorea) are very different plants.
Ironically, yams are sweeter than sweet potatoes!
Our collective confusion on this subject is (at least partially) explained at http://plantanswers.tamu.edu/vegetables/sweetpotato.html.
Thanks for the great Web site!
