1litreoil suitable for deep frying (sunflower, canola, etc.)
Instructions
Peel the sweet potato and cut in to thin fries (around 0.8 - 1 cm square).
Fill a large pan to 1/3rd or lower with the oil and heat to 160 °C / 320 °F. Add the fries (oil will foam up, so add carefully) and cook for around 4-5 minutes. Remove the fries and set them aside.
When the oil returns to 160 °C / 320 °F return the fries. Cook for around 5-6 minutes until they’re crisp and golden. Remove, drain on absorbent paper and serve with a sprinkle of salt.
Notes
Fries don't keep, so make and serve fresh.The oil does foam up a fair bit during the first frying, so use a tall sided pan and keep the oil level to 1/3rd or lower to accommodate this.
