Deep Fried Sweet Potato Fries Food

SWEET POTATO FRIES

Steps:

• Heat the oil to 375 degrees F in a heavy-bottomed Dutch oven or deep fryer. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Mix the salt, garlic powder, paprika and sugar in a bowl and set aside.
• Whisk the cornstarch and club soda in a mixing bowl. In batches, dip the potatoes in the batter, allow any excess to drip off and hold on a wire rack. Repeat with rest of the potatoes.
• Fry half the potatoes, stirring occasionally until golden brown and crispy, 6 to 8 minutes. Sprinkle with the seasoning and hold in the oven on a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the last batch of potatoes.

DEEP-FRIED SWEET POTATO FRIES

Steps:

• Turn on the deep-fryer to preheat. Set to 325°.
• To prepare the sweet potatoes, begin by peeling them. Next, cut them into large round slices about 1/2″ thick. Then you will need to cut each slab of sweet potato into shoestring strips as seen above.
• FIRST FRY - Begin by frying them once at a lower 325° to cook the sweet potatoes all the way through. This takes about 6-8 minutes and depends on the exact size of your cut. Drain on paper towels. Now, let them rest to cool off for about 2-3 minutes and for the remaining moisture to come back to the surface.
• Finally, turn up the heat on the deep fryer for a second cook at 375°. Then add the sweet potato fries back into the deep fryer for a quick 2-minute deep-frying. Drain again on a paper towel.
• As soon as the second fry is done, drain them on paper towels, the seasoning needs to go on. I liberally salt them and then sprinkle on sweet paprika.
• Enjoy!

DEEP-FRIED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Put a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet and place in the oven.
• Put sweet potatoes in a microwave-safe container, cover, and microwave 2 minutes. Stir gently, cover, and microwave 1 to 2 minutes more until pieces are pliable. Let rest 5 minutes covered; pour onto a platter.
• In a 4-quart saucepan over medium, heat oil to 375 degrees on a deep-fry thermometer. In a large bowl, gradually whisk the cornstarch into the beer (if you whisk it together all at once, it will get too thick). Working with a handful at a time, dip potatoes into the mixture, letting the excess drip back into the bowl. Add to the hot oil and fry in three or four batches until dark golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes per batch. Transfer fries to oven while cooking the remaining batches.
• Place the fries in a large clean bowl, add the Mediterranean Spice mix, and toss to coat. Serve immediately.
