A sweet potato/yam
olive oil
salt
pepper
Set the oven to 450.
Wash off the sweet potato and make sure you dry it very well. If it's wet the coating won't stick and the fries won't be delicious.
French the sweet potato and dump them all onto a baking sheet. You can peel it if you want but I usually don't. Sprinkle salt and pepper onto them, then a small amount of olive oil. Mix it all up so that all the fries are coated. Make sure to use all the coating mixture that puddles on the bottom of the sheet. You can use more olive oil just as long as the fries aren't sitting in a pool.
Space the fries out so they are not touching (this will make them more crispy) and bake for 15 minutes, flip them, and bake for 10 more minutes. (Cook them just a few minutes less on each side if you want them less dark and crispy.)

I made some a few minutes ago. they were good, but a little burned because my oven is small and they should have been cooked for shorter time :( I used sweet potatoes (orange kind) and yams (yellow kind) and they taste different, but both were good. The sweet potato flavor was more clear than any I've gotten in restaurants. mmmm yummy.
