Thai Inspired Sweet Potato Fries Recipes

THAI INSPIRED SWEET POTATO FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Combine oil, garlic, chili paste and soy sauce in a bowl. Add sweet potatoes and toss to coat.
• Spread single layer on baking sheet.
• Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, string once or twice to prevent burning and allow even cooking.

STIR-FRIED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Put scallions in food processor and pulse until finely chopped; remove. Add garlic, ginger and chili to the processor and pulse until minced; remove. Fit the processor with grating blade and grate sweet potatoes.
• Put oil in a large nonstick or well-seasoned cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add garlic-ginger-chili mixture and fry for 30 seconds. Add half the scallions and all the potatoes and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring or tossing, until the potatoes are lightly browned, about 10 minutes; the potatoes need not be fully tender.
• Add soy sauce, toss once, and transfer potatoes to serving platter. Garnish with remaining scallions and serve immediately with additional soy sauce, if desired.
