Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon ground paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 cups vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into 1/4-inch thick slices or wedges.
In a large bowl, combine the cornstarch, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Toss the sweet potato wedges in the cornstarch mixture until they are evenly coated.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fry pan or skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). If you don’t have a thermometer, you can test the oil by dropping a small piece of sweet potato into it; if it sizzles immediately, the oil is ready.
Carefully add the sweet potato wedges to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each batch for about 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the sweet potatoes from the oil and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Sprinkle the fried sweet potatoes with additional salt to taste, if desired.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve immediately as a crispy side dish or snack.
