Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Sweet potatoes
- 0.5 cup Cornstarch
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Water
- 4 cups Vegetable oil
Instructions
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into thin slices, about 1/4 inch thick.
In a large bowl, mix together cornstarch, all-purpose flour, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Gradually add water to the dry mixture, whisking until a smooth batter forms. The consistency should be like pancake batter.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Dip each slice of sweet potato into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off.
Carefully place the coated sweet potato slices into the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry each batch for about 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried sweet potato slices and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve immediately while hot and crispy. Optionally, sprinkle extra salt if desired.
