These are a nice change from the usual home fries that are made with white potatoes, and the beautiful orange color of the sweet potatoes will brighten up any breakfast (or dinner) plate. After about 30 minutes of cooking the potatoes will be tender, but to get them brown and crispy, you must keep cooking them another 20 to 30 minutes. It's worth the extra time.
