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
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.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 medium sweet potatoes, rinsed and dried
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon freshly-cracked black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
  • 1. Cut the potatoes into 1/4″ thin strips, or to your desired thickness and length. Mix all other ingredients together in a large bowl and toss with the potatoes until they are evenly coated.
  • 2. Transfer the potatoes to a large baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Spread the potatoes in a single layer. Try not to overcrowd or have multiple layers of fries - you want them to be roasted, not steamed.
  • 3. Place in the oven and cook for 25-30 minutes, turning the fries once or twice during that time to cook evenly. May take more or less time, depending on the size and thickness you cut the fries.
  • Remove once the edges slightly begin to brown and fries begin to crisp. Sprinkle course salt on top when they are hot out of the oven.
