Ingredients
- 3 sweet potatoes medium size
- 60 g cornflour
- 90 ml water
- vegetable oil for frying
- sea salt
- zest of 1 lime
Instructions
- Wash the sweet potatoes with fresh water and using a sharp knife cut them lenghtwise. Then, cut each half into wedge shapes.
- Using a mixing bowl, add the cornflour and water and stir well until all the cornflour has been diluted.
- Add the wedges into the mixture and coat well making sure all the sweet potato wedges are evenly coated.
- Using a small pan (it will reduce the amount of oil needed), add vegetable oil, enough to deep fry the wedges, and heat the oil to a high temperature.
- When the oil is hot enough, start adding the wedges. You may need to fry them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- When golden, take the wedges out of the oil and place them on kitchen paper. Sprinkle with salt, leave them for a couple of minutes to release any excess oil, and transfer them into the serving bowl.
- Add the lime zest on the top and enjoy!
