SWEET POTATO FRIES



Sweet Potato Fries image

These addictive seasoned "fries" from Mark Bittman are actually baked, but we promise you won't miss the grease. The spice mix - garlic powder, paprika, salt and black pepper - can be used on regular potatoes as well (you'll just need to increase the baking time a bit).

SWEET POTATO FRIES WITH AUNT TC'S SECRET SAUCES



Sweet Potato Fries with Aunt TC's Secret Sauces image

What's my secret for super-crispy sweet potato fries? I actually have two. First, I soak the potatoes in cold water to remove the excess starch. Then, I give them a toss in a cornstarch and seltzer water mixture. The cherry on top? I dust these with a spicy-sweet spice blend and serve them with two different awesome sauces. Bet you can't eat just one!

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch-thick sticks
2 tablespoons firmly packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon granulated garlic
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Peanut or vegetable oil, for frying
3/4 cup cornstarch
3/4 cup seltzer water
1/2 cup Carolina mustard barbecue sauce
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Miss Brown's House Seasoning, recipe follows
1/3 cup ketchup
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Miss Brown's House seasoning, recipe follows
2 teaspoons hot sauce
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons sweet paprika
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the sweet potato fries: Soak the potatoes in cold water 30 minutes. Dry on paper towels.
  • Stir together the brown sugar, garlic, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
  • For the creamy barbecue sauce: Stir together the barbecue sauce, mayonnaise and House Seasoning in a bowl.
  • For the spicy sauce: Stir together the ketchup, mayonnaise, House Seasoning and hot sauce in a separate bowl.
  • For the sweet potato fries: Pour the oil to a depth of 3 inches in a Dutch oven. Heat the oil to 325 degrees F. Line wire racks with paper towels.
  • Stir together the cornstarch and seltzer water in a medium bowl. Dip the sweet potatoes in the cornstarch mixture in batches until coated. (The coating will be thin. Stir the cornstarch mixture after each batch.) Fry the sweet potatoes, in batches, until they float to the top, 1 to 2 minutes. (The sweet potatoes won't brown yet.) Remove to lined wire racks to drain.
  • Increase the oil temperature to 350 degrees F.
  • Fry the potatoes a second time, in batches, until browned and crispy, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove to the lined racks to drain. Sprinkle immediately with the brown sugar seasoning. Serve right away with the sauces.
  • Stir together the garlic and onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

BAKED SWEET POTATO FRIES RECIPE BY TASTY



Baked Sweet Potato Fries Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: large sweet potatoes, water, corn starch, olive oil, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, brown sugar, salt, shredded parmesan cheese, fresh parsley

Provided by Tasty

Categories     Sides

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 large sweet potatoes
water, for soaking
2 tablespoons corn starch
1 tablespoon olive oil, or vegetable oil
½ teaspoon pepper
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon brown sugar
salt, to taste
shredded parmesan cheese, optional
fresh parsley, optional, chopped

Steps:

  • Rinse and peel sweet potatoes.
  • To cut into fries, cut a small sliver off the edge of the potatoes lengthwise to create a flat side for them to rest on. Turn the potato over to lay on its flat side. Cut each slice lengthwise into three to four fries.
  • Place the fries in a bowl of water and soak for one hour. (This helps remove excess starch from the potatoes so your fries will be crispier.) Rinse and dry off.
  • In a large bowl or gallon bag, toss the fries with cornstarch until they're evenly coated. Then add the oil and toss to coat.
  • Add the pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and brown sugar and toss to evenly distribute your spices. (Hold off on adding the salt until after baking. This will help make sure the fries are crispy.)
  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Lay out the french fries, being sure not to overcrowd the pan. (You may need two pans, depending on how large your pans are. Avoid overcrowding one pan or your fries may not crisp up.)
  • Bake for 15 minutes. Flip fries with tongs, then bake for an additional 10-15 minutes. Sprinkle on salt (to taste) and serve! Add shredded Parmesan and chopped parsley for an optional garnish.
  • Enjoy!
