DEEP-FRIED SWEET POTATO FRIES
Steps:
- Turn on the deep-fryer to preheat. Set to 325°.
- To prepare the sweet potatoes, begin by peeling them. Next, cut them into large round slices about 1/2″ thick. Then you will need to cut each slab of sweet potato into shoestring strips as seen above.
- FIRST FRY - Begin by frying them once at a lower 325° to cook the sweet potatoes all the way through. This takes about 6-8 minutes and depends on the exact size of your cut. Drain on paper towels. Now, let them rest to cool off for about 2-3 minutes and for the remaining moisture to come back to the surface.
- Finally, turn up the heat on the deep fryer for a second cook at 375°. Then add the sweet potato fries back into the deep fryer for a quick 2-minute deep-frying. Drain again on a paper towel.
- As soon as the second fry is done, drain them on paper towels, the seasoning needs to go on. I liberally salt them and then sprinkle on sweet paprika.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- Select the right potatoes: Choose sweet potatoes that are firm and have smooth skin. Avoid potatoes that are bruised or have blemishes.
- Cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If the potatoes are cut too thick, they will take longer to cook and may not get crispy. If they are cut too thin, they may overcook and become mushy.
- Soak the potatoes in water: This will help to remove excess starch and make the fries crispier. Soak the potatoes for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Dry the potatoes thoroughly: Before cooking the fries, make sure they are completely dry. This will help them to crisp up in the oven.
- Use a high-quality oil: Choose an oil that has a high smoke point, such as avocado oil or grapeseed oil. This will help to prevent the fries from burning.
- Preheat the oven: Make sure the oven is fully preheated before adding the fries. This will help them to cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When baking the fries, make sure they are spread out in a single layer on the baking sheet. This will help them to cook evenly and get crispy.
- Flip the fries halfway through cooking: This will help them to cook evenly and get crispy on all sides.
- Season the fries: Once the fries are cooked, season them with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices or herbs.
Conclusion:
These sweet potato fries are a delicious and healthy snack or side dish. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect sweet potato fries every time. Enjoy!
