Steps:
- Heat the oil to 375 degrees F in a heavy-bottomed Dutch oven or deep fryer. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
- Mix the salt, garlic powder, paprika and sugar in a bowl and set aside.
- Whisk the cornstarch and club soda in a mixing bowl. In batches, dip the potatoes in the batter, allow any excess to drip off and hold on a wire rack. Repeat with rest of the potatoes.
- Fry half the potatoes, stirring occasionally until golden brown and crispy, 6 to 8 minutes. Sprinkle with the seasoning and hold in the oven on a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the last batch of potatoes.
Tips
- Choose sweet potatoes that are firm and smooth, without any blemishes or bruises.
- Cut the sweet potatoes into evenly sized fries so that they cook evenly.
- Soak the sweet potato fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to remove excess starch and make the fries crispier.
- Toss the sweet potato fries with a little bit of oil before baking. This will help them to brown and crisp up.
- Bake the sweet potato fries at a high temperature (425 degrees Fahrenheit) for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve the sweet potato fries immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
