Sweet potatoes are a delicious and nutritious vegetable that can be prepared in a variety of ways. One popular way to prepare them is by frying them. This cooking method gives them a delicious, crispy exterior while still retaining their sweet and soft interior. Whether you’re looking to make a quick and easy snack or a side dish for your next meal, here’s how to prepare fried sweet potatoes.

Ingredients:
– 2 large sweet potatoes
– 2 cups vegetable oil
– 1 tsp. salt
– 1 tsp. black pepper
– 1 tsp. garlic powder
– 1 tsp. paprika
– 1 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions:

1. Peel and slice the sweet potatoes: Start by peeling your sweet potatoes and slicing them into thin rounds. You can also cut them into shoestring-style fries if you prefer.

2. Soak the sweet potatoes in cold water: Soak your sliced sweet potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes. This will remove excess starch and help to create a crispier texture when fried.

3. Preheat the oil: Heat your vegetable oil in a large frying pan or deep fryer over medium-high heat until it reaches a temperature of 375F.

4. Season the flour: While the oil is heating up, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and flour in a shallow dish.

5. Coat the sweet potatoes in the flour mixture: Once the sweet potatoes are done soaking, drain them and pat them dry with a paper towel. Then, coat them in the seasoned flour mixture.

6. Fry the sweet potatoes: Once the oil is hot, carefully add the sweet potatoes to the frying pan or deep fryer. Fry them in small batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook until they are golden brown, which should take around 5-7 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.

7. Season and serve: Sprinkle the fried sweet potatoes with a little extra salt and black pepper while they are still hot. They can be served as a snack or as a side dish. Enjoy!

Tips and Tricks:

– Be sure to use a high-quality vegetable oil for frying, such as canola or peanut oil.
– If you want to add a little extra flavor to your fried sweet potatoes, try adding some cayenne pepper or chili powder to the flour mixture.
– For an even crispier texture, you can fry the sweet potatoes twice. Simply fry them once for 3-4 minutes, drain them on a paper towel-lined plate, and then fry them again for an additional 2-3 minutes.
– Be careful when working with hot oil. Always use caution and avoid sliding the sweet potatoes into the oil, as this can cause splattering. Instead, slowly lower them in using a slotted spoon.
