Ingredients
- 2 pounds sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 2 tablespoons corn starch
- coarse salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°.
- Start by slicing the potatoes into long ¼” to ½” thick batonnet cuts.
- Next, submerge them in water and let them sit for 30 minutes. This will help wash off any starch so that they brown.
- Drain the sweet potatoes and thoroughly dry them using a towel or paper towels.
- Add the potatoes to a large bowl and coat them in the oil on all sides.
- Next, sprinkle in the corn starch and toss them until they are coated on all sides. You will notice a hint of breading on the potatoes from the cornstarch mixing with the oil to cream a slurry.
- Evenly spread the sweet potatoes on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper in a single layer. It’s important that they are only one layer so that they can brown properly. If the tray is too crowded, divide them between two.
- Place on a middle rack in the oven and cook at 450° for 12 to 15 minutes or until they start to turn light brown.
- Flip the sweet potatoes over and cook for a further 6 to 8 minutes or until lightly browned and cooked. If they are not browning, turn the broiler on high after the 6 to 8 minutes mark and broil for 3 to 4 minutes or until browned.
- Remove the sweet potatoes and season with salt and pepper.
Notes
- Make-Ahead: These are meant to be eaten right away. You could keep them warm in the oven on a cookie sheet tray lined with parchment paper at 175° for 10-20 minutes before serving.
- How to Store: Cover and keep in the refrigerator for 3 days. Once they are cooked, they will not freeze that well.
- How to Reheat: Add the desired amount of sweet potato fries to a cooked sheet tray lined with parchment paper and bake in the oven at 350° for 3-6 minutes or until hot and crispy. You can re-fry in oil at 350° for 1 to 2 minutes or until hot.
- Feel free to cut them thinner or thicker to your liking.
- Cook the fries for 1 to 2 minutes longer if you like them to be crisper and more browned.
- These would go incredible with aioli or comeback sauce.
- You can also deep fry these sweet potatoes. Once the sweet potatoes are dried after rinsing, coat them in the corn starch and add them to a deep fryer or a pot with oil at 350° and fry for 4 to 6 minutes or until lightly browned and cooked through.
- Change it up by seasoning with a ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon and 2 teaspoons of sugar instead of salt and pepper to make these sweet potatoes even sweater.
