What can be easier than buying, cooking and eating potatoes? This is almost as easy as Costco Rotisserie Chicken and just as easy as pork loin.
Okinawan sweet potatoes keep a sturdy texture. They typically don't go mushy the way the orange ones sometimes do, or mealy the way the white ones do. And they turn a really stunningly beautiful deep eggplant color when they are cooked. Check farmers markets and Japanese grocery stores.

Buy sweet potatoes. Wash them. Pierece a few holes here and there with a fork. Microwave on high for about 5 minutes. After that, carefully wrap in foil (they will be hot). Bake in foil at 350 degrees for abotu 45 minutes, or until they can be pierced clean through. I use a skinny bamboo skewer.
Slice and eat. It should be a deep purple throughout and the skin will easily peel off.
Directions for oven baked fries
Peel potatoes and slice into fries. Dump into a bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Don't worry if the potatoes aren't purple. They will turn darker as they bake. Lay fries out in a single layer and sprinkle salt over. Bake at 350 for about 45 minutes. Flip once or twice to brown evenly.
