Deep Fried Sweet Potatoes Recipes

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!

FRIED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add peeled sweet potatoes, and boil for about 4 minutes. Remove from water, and cut into 1/2 inch slices.
• Melt butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar until dissolved, adding more butter if necessary. Add sweet potatoes, and fry until golden brown and fork tender, turning occasionally. Serve hot.

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.

FRIED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• In a large heavy saucepan or deep fat fryer, heat 4 to 5 inches of vegetable oil to 360/. Rub the potato strips with the salt.
• Fry the potatoes, in several batches to prevent overcrowding and sticking, for 2 to 3 minutes, until cooked through but not colored. Be sure to return the oil to 360 degrees before cooking the next batch, or the potatoes will absorb too much oil and be greasy. Set the potatoes aside on paper towels until you have finished cooking all of them, then increase the temperature of the oil to 390 degrees. Refry the potatoes, again in batches. This time they will take very little time to become crisp, golden brown, and puffy (keep the first batches warm in a low oven while you finish frying, and again be sure to return the oil to 390 degrees for the subsequent batches). Remove with a slotted spoon to drain briefly on paper towels. Serve while hot.
