SPICY SWEET POTATO OVEN FRIES

Fry lovers rejoice! These sweet and spicy fries are a fantastic duo. Ground chipotle chile pepper adds the mild heat. If you want less spice use regular chile powder. Want to turn up the heat? Switch the chipotle with cayenne. These fries are very versatile so play with the spice combinations you like. Soaking the fries before they are baked helps them crisp better in the oven so don't skip the step. Serve these with alongside a grilled filet for steak night or seared salmon filet and some roasted vegetables for a full plate. These fries also make a great and filling snack for movie nights at home. Mix some fat-free Greek yogurt and prepared horseradish for a great cool-yet-spicy dipper.

CRISPY SWEET POTATO FRIES



Crispy Sweet Potato Fries image

-

Provided by William_Klein

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 medium Sweet Potatoes (2 large ones)
Coarse Kosher Salt
Splash of Vinegar (~20 g)
A drizzle of Peanut Oil (~15 g)
80 g cold water
50 g corn starch
Fresh ground Pepper

Steps:

  • Set a pot of water on medium-high heat to boil.
  • Meanwhile, peel the sweet potatoes, slice them into roughly 1/3 inch sheets, then into roughly 1/3 inch thick fries. Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F.
  • Once the water has boiled, add the vinegar and a 3 finger pinch of salt, stirring to dissolve the salt. Add the sweet potato fries to the boiling water and set a timer for 6 minutes. When the time is up, drain the fries into a colander. Using a fork lightly scratch the surface of the fries to help the slurry mixture mix into the nooks and crannies.
  • Meanwhile, add the 50 g cornstarch and 80 g of cold water to a bowl. Stir until completely combined with no clumps remaining. Add the still hot, drained fries to the bowl and toss until the slurry thickens and sticks to the fries. If you need a little more cornstarch feel free to add it. The mixture should lightly coat the fries.
  • Using tongs, move the fries to a wire rack over a large baking sheet. Evenly space the fries so none of them are touching. Using a squirt bottle or spoon, drizzle the peanut oil over the fries trying to get an even coating over each one (you could also use a baking spray though I didn't find it works as well). Add the sweet potatoes to the oven and set a timer for 15 minutes.
  • Pull the baking sheet out and flip the fries with a spatula. At this point, you should be able to see some blistering on the outside but the fries won't be overly crisp. If they look a little dry, drizzle over more peanut oil. Add them back to the oven and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes. At this point, they should be slightly browned and crispy though it could take longer depending on the size of the fry, how crowded the pan is or the oil used. If they aren't crispy, let them go longer!
  • Pour in the fries into a bowl. Immediately a pinch of salt and a couple of cranks of black pepper. Toss the fries in the seasoning and enjoy with the dipping sauce of your choice. Feel free to add spices, fresh herbs, cheeses, or any flavorings of your choice during this stage.

Tips:

  • To make the fries crispier, cut them into thin, even strips. This will help them cook evenly and become crispy on the outside while staying tender on the inside.
  • Soak the fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help remove excess starch and make the fries less likely to stick together.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet. Make sure the fries are in a single layer so that they can cook evenly.
  • Bake the fries at a high temperature (400 degrees Fahrenheit or higher) for a short amount of time. This will help them crisp up quickly without overcooking them.
  • Season the fries with your favorite spices. Some popular options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
  • Serve the fries hot with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular options include ketchup, ranch dressing, and honey mustard.

Conclusion:

Crispy sweet potato fries are a delicious and healthy snack or side dish. They are easy to make and can be seasoned to your liking. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a batch of crispy sweet potato fries that will be enjoyed by everyone!
