Sweet Potato serving size?

On Phase 2, does anyone know how many ounces of sweet potato count as a serving?  On the Phase 2 list it says "small" but the small ones I found at the store the other day were still about 1/2 pound each!  I'm planning on making sweet potato oven fries and figure it'll be easier to weigh the slice to portion them.


Thanks!

I usually just eyeball my sweet potato serving. However I serve them, I shoot for 1/2 cup per serving.

I just got my new "Taste of Summer Cookbook" and it says for SP Fries ...4 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 pound) makes 4 ( 1 cup ) servings.
