Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 pounds sweet potato
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 ½ cup neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil

Instructions

  1. Wash and peel sweet potatoes. Cut into round slices about half-inch thick or into batons. Soak the cut sweet potatoes in a bowl of water to prevent browning.
  2. When ready to cook, take them out of the water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
  3. Heat oil in a deep fryer or deep pan over high heat. Cook the sweet potato slices until the outside starts to get crispy and the inside is cooked. Remove from oil and transfer to a plate.
  4. Add a third of the sugar to the hot oil and cook until it turns into caramel. Now add back a third of the cooked sweet potato slices to the pan and toss until well coated with caramelized sugar.
  5. Remove the baton pieces from oil and transfer to a draining rack. For those to be skewered on a stick, do it as soon as you take the coated piece from oil so the sugar coating is still soft and it is easier to pierce. It will start to harden as it cools down.
  6. Let the pieces cool down a bit and serve.
