Ingredients
- 2 Sweet potatoes large
- 1/2 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon Chili powder
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Peel and cut your sweet potatoes into quarter inch fries. Soak them overnight, by placing them in a bowl of water in the fridge.
- Heat your oil to 325 degrees.
- Strain your sweet potato fries and then dry them with a paper towel. You really want to get all water off of them.
- Drop half of the sweet potato into the oil and gently stir them. You stir to make sure they're cooking evenly. Cook for 5 minutes.
- Scoop out the fries, and place them on a wire rack. Add the second half to the oil.
- Whisk the cornstarch and chili powder together in a small bowl and then dust the fries cooling on the wire rack. You don't want to add too much here or the fries might have a powdery texture.
- Remove the second batch from the fryer and add the cornstarch dusted fries to the oil for their second frying time. Cook for 5 minutes, or until they hold their shape and there no longer flimsy, you want a good crunch.
- Remove to a wire rack and sprinkle with salt.
- Finish the second batch of fries.
- That's it! Serve with ketchup and enjoy.
