Time 30m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into thick sticks
1 ¼ cups white sugar
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups vegetable oil for deep frying
4 teaspoons butter

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Select firm and evenly shaped sweet potatoes without blemishes or bruises. For crispier fries, opt for varieties like Garnet or Jewel sweet potatoes.
  • Cut the sweet potatoes uniformly: This ensures even cooking. Aim for fries that are about 1/2 inch thick and 3-4 inches long.
  • Soak the sweet potato fries in water: This helps remove excess starch, resulting in crispier fries. Soak them for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Dry the sweet potato fries thoroughly: Use a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to pat the fries dry before tossing them in oil or spices. This prevents splattering and promotes even cooking.
  • Use a high-heat cooking method: Whether baking, frying, or air-frying, high heat is key to achieving crispy fries. Aim for a temperature of 400°F (200°C) or higher.
  • Season the sweet potato fries generously: Don't be afraid to use a variety of spices and herbs to enhance the flavor of your fries. Paprika, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper are popular choices.
  • Serve the sweet potato fries hot: Freshly cooked sweet potato fries are at their best when served hot and crispy. Accompany them with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, sriracha mayo, or ranch dressing.

Conclusion:

Spiced-up sweet potato fries are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed as a snack or as part of a meal. With their naturally sweet flavor and crispy texture, they're a healthier alternative to traditional potato fries. Experiment with different spices and herbs to create your own unique flavor combinations. Whether you prefer baking, frying, or air-frying, these recipes provide easy-to-follow instructions for perfectly cooked sweet potato fries every time. So gather your ingredients, preheat your oven or air fryer, and get ready to enjoy this tasty and nutritious treat!
