Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Sweet potatoes
- 1 liter Vegetable oil
- 50 grams Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
Instructions
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1/4 inch thick sticks.
Rinse the sweet potato sticks under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel.
In a large bowl, combine cornstarch, salt, paprika, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Add the sweet potato sticks to the bowl and toss them until they are well coated with the cornstarch mixture.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep-frying pan or fryer to 175°C (350°F).
Carefully add a few sweet potato sticks at a time into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the sweet potatoes for 6-8 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fried sweet potatoes from the oil using a slotted spoon and transfer them onto a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining sweet potato sticks.
Once all sweet potatoes are fried, serve them hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
