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!

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

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 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.
