Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

3 medium peeled sweet potatoes
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon jalapeño salt
Vegetable oil cooking spray
1 jalapeño

Steps:

Heat oven to 425°. Cut 3 medium peeled sweet potatoes into 1/4-inch-thick fries. In a bowl, combine 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 1/2 teaspoon jalapeño salt; add fries and toss. Arrange fries on two baking sheets coated with vegetable oil cooking spray; coat with more cooking spray. Bake until fries begin to brown, 10 minutes. Remove from oven and flip; spritz with cooking spray and sprinkle with 1 sliced jalapeño. Bake until golden, 8 minutes.

Tips:

To ensure the fries are crispy, use starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold.
Cut the potatoes into even-sized strips for even cooking.
Soak the potato strips in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch and help them crisp up.
Dry the potato strips thoroughly before frying to prevent splattering and ensure a crispy texture.
Use a large skillet or deep fryer with plenty of oil to prevent overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
Maintain the oil temperature between 325°F (163°C) and 350°F (177°C) for optimal crispiness.
Fry the potato strips in batches to avoid overcrowding and ensure they cook evenly.
Cook the potato strips until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes.
Drain the fries on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Season the fries immediately after frying with salt, pepper, and other desired seasonings.
