Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium-sized sweet potatoes
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into thin sticks or wedges, approximately 1/4-inch thick.
In a large skillet or deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Test the heat by dropping a small piece of sweet potato into the oil — it should sizzle immediately.
Carefully add a portion of the sweet potato sticks to the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches if necessary.
Fry the sweet potatoes for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally with a slotted spoon, until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Using the slotted spoon, transfer the cooked sweet potatoes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Sprinkle the fried sweet potatoes with salt while they are still warm.
Drizzle honey generously over the fried sweet potatoes and, if desired, sprinkle with a pinch of ground cinnamon for extra flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your crispy, sweet, and savory treat!
