Instructions
- Wash and peel your sweet potatoes. Cut into 1/8 - 1/4 inch thick fries. The easiest way to do this is using a french fry cutter or a small mandoline.
- In a large colander, rinse the potatoes for about 10-15 seconds under cold water.
- Dry with paper towels or a clean dish cloth.
- Heat your oil in your pot to 325 degrees using an oil thermometer.
- Add the fries but make sure you don't overcrowd your pan.
- Fry for 1-2 minutes (no browning yet) 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.
- Fry them the second time for an additional 1-2 minutes, until they're browned and crispy.
- Season while hot with kosher salt and any other flavorings you want. Old bay seasoning is popular or even a cajun blend.
- If you're making ahead for a crowd, you can heat them in the oven at 325 degrees for 5-7 minutes to crisp them back up.
