Fried sweet potato fries are a crispy and tasty snack, perfect as a side dish or a healthier snack option. They combine a sweet and savory flavor with a satisfying crunch and can be served with ketchup or ranch sauce. Sweet potatoes are rich in vitamins E and C and fiber, providing healthy energy, and the amount of oil can be controlled to make them lighter than traditional French fries.
Ingredients for Fried Sweet Potato Fries
Sweet potatoes: 2 medium
Vegetable oil: as needed (for frying)
Salt: ½ teaspoon
Black pepper: a pinch
Paprika: ½ teaspoon
Flour: 3 tablespoons (optional, for coating before frying)
How to Prepare Fried Sweet Potato Fries
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into thin sticks or evenly sized long slices.
Soak them in cold water for 15 minutes to remove excess starch, then dry them well with a kitchen towel.
In a bowl, mix the sweet potatoes with salt, black pepper, and spices. If desired, lightly coat them with flour to add extra crispiness.
Heat the oil in a pan over medium to high heat.
Fry the sweet potato fries in batches until golden and crispy on the outside, about 5–7 minutes per batch.
Remove them onto paper towels to drain excess oil, then serve hot with your favorite sauce.
