Parmesan Sweet Potato Fries - Recipe

I love sweet potato fries for two reasons.  First, they are sweet and delicious!!! (Always a good thing!!)  And secondly, they have fewer calories since they are baked and not fried.  If I have a regular french fry ala Micky-D's, all I taste is the oil and salt.  Try these great fries, with a touch of Parmesan cheese.
