Ingredients

  • 4 medium Sweet potatoes
  • 1 liter Vegetable oil
  • 50 grams Cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
  • 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder

Directions

Step 1

Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1/4 inch thick sticks.

Step 2

Rinse the sweet potato sticks under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine cornstarch, salt, paprika, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 4

Add the sweet potato sticks to the bowl and toss them until they are well coated with the cornstarch mixture.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep-frying pan or fryer to 175°C (350°F).

Step 6

Carefully add a few sweet potato sticks at a time into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 7

Fry the sweet potatoes for 6-8 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Remove the fried sweet potatoes from the oil using a slotted spoon and transfer them onto a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 9

Repeat the frying process with the remaining sweet potato sticks.

Step 10

Once all sweet potatoes are fried, serve them hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
