Method
Preparation
- 1
Peel and Cut Sweet Potatoes
Start by peeling the sweet potatoes using a vegetable peeler. Once peeled, cut them into uniform slices or cubes, about 1/2 inch thick. This ensures even cooking.
- 2
Prepare Seasoning
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, ground black pepper, and any optional seasonings like paprika, garlic powder, or cayenne pepper if desired.
Frying
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large frying pan or skillet, pour the vegetable oil and heat it over medium-high heat. To check if the oil is hot enough, drop a small piece of sweet potato into the oil; if it sizzles, the oil is ready.
- 4
Fry the Sweet Potatoes
Carefully add the sweet potato slices to the hot oil in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry them for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until they are golden brown and crispy.
- 5
Drain and Season
Once fried, remove the sweet potatoes from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Immediately sprinkle with the prepared seasoning mix while they are still hot.
