How To Make Crispy Sweet Potato Fries
These crispy sweet potato fries have a natural sweetness so to balance it out, we are using a generous amount of salt and make it crispier with cornstarch.

- ½cupcornstarch
- 6tbspclub sodaor ice water
- 2tspkosher salt
- canolaor vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
-
Wash and peel your sweet potatoes. Cut into ¼ inch thick fries and rinse the potatoes for about 10-15 seconds under cold water then dry with paper towels or a clean dish cloth you don’t mind turning slightly orange.
-
Mix the cornstarch with the water to make a slurry in a large bowl or large ziploc bag, add sweet potatoes and toss to coat.
-
Heat your oil in your pot to 350 degrees F and add the fries 1 at a time so will not stick together.
-
Toss the potatoes in the slurry again to prevent the cornstarch from settling.
-
Fry for 1 to 2 minutes and drain on a brown paper bag.
-
Once all the fries are done with their first dip in the oil, start the second round of frying, then fry them the second time for an additional 2 minutes, until the fries are browned and crispy.
