SPICY SWEET POTATO OVEN FRIES

Fry lovers rejoice! These sweet and spicy fries are a fantastic duo. Ground chipotle chile pepper adds the mild heat. If you want less spice use regular chile powder. Want to turn up the heat? Switch the chipotle with cayenne. These fries are very versatile so play with the spice combinations you like. Soaking the fries before they are baked helps them crisp better in the oven so don't skip the step. Serve these with alongside a grilled filet for steak night or seared salmon filet and some roasted vegetables for a full plate. These fries also make a great and filling snack for movie nights at home. Mix some fat-free Greek yogurt and prepared horseradish for a great cool-yet-spicy dipper.

Karen figured out how to make crispy sweet potato fries and the best part is you can do them in the deep fryer or the oven! Either way, you'll end up with crispy fries. Guaranteed. From Karen, on The Art of Doing Stuff.

Provided by Sharon123

Categories     Yam/Sweet Potato

Time 45m

Yield 1 big batch

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 large sweet potatoes
2 -3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon sriracha sauce (or to taste)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°.
  • Peel and cut sweet potatoes into fries no thicker than 1/2″. Soak in water for minimum of one hour, but preferably for half a day.
  • Drain water from bowl and lift fries out by the handful. Give them a good shake. They should be dry but still have enough moisture on them to allow the cornstarch to stick.
  • Put cornstarch in a plastic bag and drop all of your fries inches Blow a little air into the bag, twist the top and shake it vigorously. Lift the fries out onto one or two baking sheets.
  • Coat with Olive Oil. The more the crispier and less sticking you'll have, but the less healthy they'll be. Use 2 pans if you have to. You want to make sure the fries aren't crowded on the pan otherwise they'll steam as opposed to getting crispy.
  • Bake for 15 minutes then check. Once bottom of fries are getting crisp, flip them over and cook for another 5-10 minutes.
  • (for deep frying follow the first 3 steps, but instead of baking them, put them in the deep fryer at it's highest setting for a few minutes).
  • Dipping Sauce:.
  • Mix together mayo, pepper and Sriracha sauce. Adjust to your taste.
  • Please note : This recipe does have a bit of a learning curve. It may take a few attempts to get your proportions of corn starch and oil correct. If you it doesn't work for you, it's not the recipe it's either a) your technique or b) your baking pan.

Tips:

  • Selecting the right sweet potatoes is crucial. Choose firm and blemish-free ones for the best results.
  • Cutting the sweet potatoes into even-sized fries ensures uniform cooking. If the fries are too thick, they may not cook through properly, and if they are too thin, they may overcook and become limp.
  • Soaking the sweet potato fries in cold water for 30 minutes helps remove excess starch, resulting in crispier fries. This step is optional but recommended for achieving the best texture.
  • Coating the fries with a mixture of oil and seasonings enhances their flavor and promotes even browning. You can adjust the amount of seasonings to suit your taste preferences.
  • Baking the fries at a high temperature (425°F) helps achieve crispy exteriors while keeping the interiors tender. Make sure to space the fries evenly on the baking sheet to prevent overcrowding and promote even cooking.
  • Flipping the fries halfway through the baking time ensures that they cook evenly on all sides and develop a golden-brown color.
  • Using a nonstick baking sheet or lining the sheet with parchment paper prevents the fries from sticking, making them easier to remove and ensuring a cleaner baking experience.
  • Serving the fries immediately after baking ensures that they are at their crispiest. You can pair them with various dipping sauces or seasonings to enhance their flavor.
