Cut the sweet potatoes in half, then place the cut side down on a cutting board and carefully cut each half into 3 equal-sized wedges. This will give you 24 wedges total.
In a large bowl, combine the potatoes and oil. Toss well.
Season with paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat.
Place the potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheets and bake in the center of the oven, uncovered for about 9 to 10 minutes on each side.
Remove from the oven and place the fries into four small oven-safe dishes (or one large dish for sharing).
Top with bell peppers, cheddar, and Jack cheese, and return to the oven for about 2 minutes, or until the cheese melts.
Finish with scallions, jalapeño, tomato, cilantro, and black olives. Serve with salsa on the side.
