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
Directions
Step 1
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into thin slices, about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 2
In a large bowl, mix together cornstarch, all-purpose flour, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Step 3
Gradually add water to the dry mixture, whisking until a smooth batter forms. The consistency should be like pancake batter.
Step 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Step 5
Dip each slice of sweet potato into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off.
Step 6
Carefully place the coated sweet potato slices into the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 7
Fry each batch for about 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Serve immediately while hot and crispy. Optionally, sprinkle extra salt if desired.
