PERFECT CRISPY SWEET POTATO FRIES

Please See Other Recipes

There’s no denying that fries are universally accepted comfort food. They are delicious and the fact that you’re almost expected to eat them with your fingers is very appealing to me. What can I say, I love finger food and dips so this is the perfect snack for me. These are incredibly easily made, can be changed to suit your taste and far less fatty than their deep-fried counterpart. If you never tried to bake your fries in the oven then you should definitely give these crispy sweet potato fries a chance.

There was a time when I thought I had to abandon my favourite snacking combination of fries and mayonnaise. That was simply due to the fact that mayonnaise contains eggs. Yes, I am one of those people. I eat my fries with mayonnaise. They can be great with ketchup but that is not my first choice. Luckily I managed to find several ways to make mayonnaise egg free but the avocado version is by far the tastiest. If you for some reason prefer your sweet potato fries with ketchup then you can try out this Hot & Spicy Home Made Ketchup. It has a slight kick to it due to the chillies but let’s get back to sweet potato fries!

INGREDIENTS

1 large sweet potato 500g (1lb)
2 tsp corn starch
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp smoked paprika
1 pinch of cayenne pepper
2 tbsp olive oil
salt to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

Peel and cut the sweet potato into strips. Place them in a cold bowl of water and let them sit for 45-60minutes.
Discard the water, give them a very quick rinse with cold water and pat them dry with a kitchen towel. Place them in a bowl and add 2 tsp of corn starch. Gently mix them until they are evenly covered.
Place them on a baking tray that is lined with baking paper and make sure they touch each other as little as possible. Drizzle your fries with olive oil and season them with the spices.
