1 teaspoons Salt, additional salt for seasoning the cooked fries
¼ teaspoon Black Pepper
½ cup Granulated Sugar
Preparation:
Wash and peel 2 medium sized sweet potatoes
Cut the sweet potatoes into 3/8” wide sticks.
Rinse the sweet potatoes in cold water twice. Discard the water between each rinse.
Boil the fries in water for 4 minutes until slightly tender. Remove fries and place them in an ice bath.
Prepare a batter for the fries by stirring together 1/3 cups of cornstarch with 1/3 cups of water in a bowl.
Season the batter with 1 teaspoon of salt and 3/4 teaspoons of pepper.
Dip the fries in the batter and let them rest for 2 minutes on paper towels.
Heat a pot of vegetable oil to 350°F.
Deep fry the sweet potato fries in batches of 7-15 depending on the size of your pot. Make sure to break up clusters of fries and prevent fries from sticking to the pan as they cook.
Cook the fries for 5-7 minutes or until golden.
When the fries are done cooking, set them in a single layer on paper towels to drain.
Once fries have cooled slightly toss with Granulated Sugar and more salt if desired.
