Steps:
- For the McCain Crispy Sweet Potato Fries, preheat the oven to 220°C/430°F/Gas Mark 7. For fan assisted ovens preheat to 210°C/410°F.

Steps:
- Wash, peel and cut up potatoes into fries or cubes.
- Toss with oil then with taco seasonings.
- Add to slightly greased pan and bake in 425°F oven 10 minutes, turn, 10 more minutes.
- These will likely come out better (and not need to be turned) if you place a cooling rack on/in the cookie sheet and then place the fries on the rack. The air gets right around the fries. (Tip learned from Rachael Ray).
