Fried Sweet Potatoes Recipes

FRIED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Slice the sweet potatoes thinly, approximately 1/4-1/2 inch thick.
• Melt butter in a large hot frying pan over medium-high heat, then places slices in the pan in a single layer. Sprinkle with salt.
• Fry the potatoes until lightly browned on one side, then flip over each slice. You'll need to watch them carefully and move the slices in the hottest part of the pan to the edges so that they all get browned. Adjust the heat down to medium if needed to keep them from browning too quickly. Total browning time took me about 5-7 minutes.
• When both sides are lightly browned, sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon across the top. Wait 1-2 minutes and then toss the potatoes until the brown sugar is caramelized (approx 1 more minute).
• Remove from pan and serve immediately.

• Cut the potatoes into thin wedges.
• Pile them in a bowl and cover them with cold water.
• Let rest 15 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Coat a baking sheet with vegetable spray.
• Set aside.
• Drain the potatoes and dry them with paper towels.
• Press the potatoes with paper towels to remove all water.
• Transfer the potatoes to a large bowl.
• Sprinkle the potatoes with oil, tossing the potatoes to disburse it.
• Then sprinkle with pepper, salt, paprika and cayenne pepper.
• Bake the potatoes at 375 degrees F for 20 minutes.
• Turn over the potatoes.
• Sprinkle potatoes with garlic and continue cooking for another 15-20 minutes or until crisp and brown.
• Serve immediately.

FRIED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• In a large heavy saucepan or deep fat fryer, heat 4 to 5 inches of vegetable oil to 360/. Rub the potato strips with the salt.
• Fry the potatoes, in several batches to prevent overcrowding and sticking, for 2 to 3 minutes, until cooked through but not colored. Be sure to return the oil to 360 degrees before cooking the next batch, or the potatoes will absorb too much oil and be greasy. Set the potatoes aside on paper towels until you have finished cooking all of them, then increase the temperature of the oil to 390 degrees. Refry the potatoes, again in batches. This time they will take very little time to become crisp, golden brown, and puffy (keep the first batches warm in a low oven while you finish frying, and again be sure to return the oil to 390 degrees for the subsequent batches). Remove with a slotted spoon to drain briefly on paper towels. Serve while hot.

• In a 4-quart saucepan over medium, heat oil to 375 degrees on a deep-fry thermometer. In a large bowl, gradually whisk the cornstarch into the beer (if you whisk it together all at once, it will get too thick). Working with a handful at a time, dip potatoes into the mixture, letting the excess drip back into the bowl. Add to the hot oil and fry in three or four batches until dark golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes per batch. Transfer fries to oven while cooking the remaining batches.
