Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Sweet potatoes
- 0.5 cup Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
Instructions
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into thin, even-sized sticks, about 1/4 inch thick.
Rinse the cut sweet potatoes in cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry with paper towels.
In a large bowl, combine cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, salt, cumin, and chili powder. Mix well to create a spiced coating mixture.
Add the sweet potato sticks to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the cornstarch and spice mixture.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or deep fryer over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the right temperature for frying.
Carefully add a portion of the coated sweet potato sticks into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them in batches if necessary.
Fry the sweet potatoes for about 3-5 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Turn them occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the sweet potatoes from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Repeat the frying process for the remaining sweet potato sticks.
Serve the crispy fried sweet potatoes hot, garnished with additional salt or your favorite dipping sauces if desired.
