Are sweet potato fries the ultimate American fry? 🇺🇸🍠 The U.S. isn’t just the world’s top exporter of sweet potatoes — they’ve made them a true icon of American cuisine!
Big thanks to DelicioUS! Food USA for sending over some of the finest sweet potatoes America has to offer. I used them to create a recipe for crunchy, flavor-packed sweet potato fries — and yep, no deep frying required!
Ingredients
• 1 large sweet potato
• 1 tbsp salt (for blanching)
• 30 g cornstarch
• ¼ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• Neutral cooking oil
• Pinch of MSG (optional)
• ¼ tsp garlic powder
• ¼ tsp smoked paprika
Instructions
1. Prep the fries: Peel and trim the sweet potato. Cut into even fries, ~1x1 cm thick.
2. Blanch: Boil water with 1 tbsp salt. Blanch fries for 2 minutes. Drain.
3. Coat: In a container, mix cornstarch, baking powder, and ½ tsp salt. Add fries, close lid, and gently shake to coat.
4. Oil & arrange: Dip each fry in oil to coat. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced apart.
5. Bake: Preheat oven at 220°C and bake for 20 minutes. Flip all fries.
6. Finish baking: Lower heat to 190°C. Bake 15–30 more minutes until tips are very dark or slightly charred.
7. Season: Transfer to a paper towel-lined bowl, toss to absorb excess oil. Add MSG, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Toss again.
