Extra Crispy Sweet Potato Fries<\/h2>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t

\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t
\n\t\t

**Potatoes:**<\/h4>
  • 3 large sweet potatoes<\/li>
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons of cornstarch<\/li>
  • Vegetable oil for frying<\/li><\/ul>

    **Batter:**<\/h4>
    • 1\/2 cup of cornstarch<\/li>
    • 3\/4 to 1 cup of cold club soda<\/li><\/ul>

      **Other:**<\/h4>
      • Salt for the fries<\/li><\/ul>\t<\/div>\n\t
        \n\t\t
        1. Begin by rinsing and peeling the sweet potatoes thoroughly.<\/li>
        2. Cut each potato into rectangular slices, about 1\/4 inch thick. Then, slice across to achieve the classic fry shape, also 1\/4 inch thick. I prefer them thin, but you can adjust the thickness to your liking.<\/li>
        3. Place the slices in a bowl of ice water and let them soak for 30 minutes.<\/li>
        4. Drain the ice water and rinse the potatoes 2 to 3 times, shaking them well to remove excess starch.<\/li>
        5. Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the potatoes. Boil for just 3 to 5 minutes; they should not be too soft.<\/li>
        6. Pat the fries completely dry and place them in a tray or large bowl. Sprinkle with cornstarch and shake to coat evenly.<\/li>
        7. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and club soda to make the batter.<\/li>
        8. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-low heat until it reaches about 250\u00b0F. The oil shouldn’t be too hot for the first fry.<\/li>
        9. Add the French fries and flash fry for 4 to 6 minutes. They won’t turn golden yet, but they’ll hold their shape.<\/li>
        10. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.<\/li>
        11. Increase the oil temperature to about 350\u00b0F. Fry the fries again until golden and crispy, ensuring they brown evenly.<\/li>
        12. Transfer to a wire rack to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with salt.<\/li>
        13. Enjoy your crispy sweet potato fries with ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce!<\/li><\/ol>\t<\/div>\n\t
