Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon ground paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 cups vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into 1/4-inch thick slices or wedges.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the cornstarch, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Step 3
Toss the sweet potato wedges in the cornstarch mixture until they are evenly coated.
Step 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fry pan or skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). If you don’t have a thermometer, you can test the oil by dropping a small piece of sweet potato into it; if it sizzles immediately, the oil is ready.
Step 5
Carefully add the sweet potato wedges to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each batch for about 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 6
Using a slotted spoon, remove the sweet potatoes from the oil and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 7
Sprinkle the fried sweet potatoes with additional salt to taste, if desired.
Step 8
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Step 9
Serve immediately as a crispy side dish or snack.
