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

Directions

Step 1

Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into thin, even-sized sticks, about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 2

Rinse the cut sweet potatoes in cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, salt, cumin, and chili powder. Mix well to create a spiced coating mixture.

Step 4

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

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Fry the sweet potatoes for about 3-5 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Turn them occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Step 8

Using a slotted spoon, remove the sweet potatoes from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 9

Repeat the frying process for the remaining sweet potato sticks.

Step 10

Serve the crispy fried sweet potatoes hot, garnished with additional salt or your favorite dipping sauces if desired.
