SWEET POTATO FRIES
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
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!

Tips:
- Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm and smooth sweet potatoes without any blemishes or bruises. Avoid any that are soft or have sprouts.
- Cut the sweet potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If you are using a mandoline slicer, be sure to use the thickest setting possible to create fries that are about 1/2-inch thick.
- Soak the sweet potato fries in water: This will help to remove the starch and prevent them from sticking together. Be sure to dry them thoroughly before frying.
- Use a high-quality oil for frying: Avocado oil, coconut oil, and grapeseed oil are all good choices. Avoid using olive oil, as it has a low smoke point and can burn easily.
- Do not overcrowd the pan: Frying the sweet potato fries in batches will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming soggy.
- Season the sweet potato fries immediately: This will help the seasoning to adhere to the fries. You can use a variety of seasonings, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, or paprika.
- Serve the sweet potato fries immediately: They are best enjoyed hot and crispy.
Conclusion:
Tropical sweet potato fries are a delicious and healthy snack or side dish. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect sweet potato fries every time.
