How to Make Sweet Potato Fries

To me the "what NOT to do" tips are a lifesaver and proof that he's practiced each recipe several times to make sure it's the best it can be

My father took me to have escargot when I was about 7. He didn't tell me what it was he just had me try it. Then he said "Do you know what that is?" I said no, and he said "They're called escargot, that is French for snails." At the look on my face he said "Remember that foods can be delicious that don't seem to be at first glance. I want you to be open to trying new things. I don't want you to grow up to be someone who just eats burgers and fries." And so I grew up to be someone who loves trying new things. I remember how the escargot tasted that day. It was lemony and garlicky and delicious. Every time I go to try something new that I'm unfamiliar with or that might not seem appealing at first, I remember what he said and I give it a try.

WHAT THIS GOT TO DO WITH SWEET POTATO FRIES!?

[@salamalmahi541]

The same thing happened to me with my dad and it was shrimps instead of escargot. I’ve been open to all foods ever since. I don’t get picky eaters.

[@debrariley2057]

We make super crispy SPfries by dropping into a pot of boiling water, for a few minutes, just until the surface softens, drain and drop them into a milk type consistency, a mix of cornstarch and a small amount of water, toss well, the soft surface makes the mix thicken up and cling to the SP fries. Onto a baking tray then into a cold oven… as The oven heats up, they slowly begin to cook through and when the oven reaches temperature they are crisp and done. Lots of salt… Eat !… another great video, just such good informative content, thank you for taking the time to share.

[@indira2484]

What ingredients are needed to make the milk type consistency?

[@debrariley2057]

Cornstarch is the dry ingredient, slowly mix in cold milk, little by little, in the first few moments it will look lumpy but cornstarch is highly absorbent so keep stirring

[@hardyzfan86]

Finally, someone feels the same way I do about the minute amounts of oil some recipes call for. Drives me bananas!

The best sweet potato fries I ever had were covered in cinnamon sugar and came with cream cheese frosting for dipping! It was basically a dessert at that point :D

[@francisudom5834]

He soaked them overnight to remove excess starch but ended up coating them with starch?

[@foolanhi8183]

Remove starch from inside. But coating it with starch helps make them crunchy. I believe

[@MicahLovesCoffee-q3y]

The natural starch inside the fries that he removed make the sweet potato mushy to removing it makes it crispy

[@Riverside1962]

I definitely agree that the secret to crispness is cornstarch (or cornflour as we would say in the UK) and that soaking is a hangover from regular potatoes which makes no difference with the less starchy sweet potato. It's just extra work for no gain. A pinch of merguez spice mix along with the oil, cornflour and salt is just delicious! I find it less labour-intensive to sprinkle the cornflour, seasoning and oil over the fries all at once in a bowl and toss together, rather than adding them one at a time on the baking sheet.

[@MaizeANDBlue1957]

I've tried several 'top brands' of knives, buying an eight inch chefs knife of all to find what I liked best. Every time I used the Global & Shun knives I found myself worrying about how brittle they were. The hardness held an edge forever, but knowing I needed to be super careful was always in the back of my mind. I ended up settling on the Wusthof (classic). It turned out to be a perfect mixture of hardness and durability, and I don't need to be 'as' careful. I sold everything except the Wusthof Classic, and built my 15 knife collection around those. _I'm glad I did that when I was still working, because I could never afford to do that as a retiree!_

[@Chef4Funn]

I like to add regular paprika, hot smoked paprika, chili powder and granulated garlic to my homemade sweet potato fries. I don't feel like they need salt like regular fries do, so I don't use it. I also like to serve them with a fry sauce. For that I just use mayo, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce and hot smoked parika.

I've never had sweet potato fries. Here in the southeast USA we call them sweet taters. I can imagine these fries you make being yummy. John, might I ask if you've ever made sweet potato puffs on your channel yet? I love those and my mother freehanded her recipe and I never learned it. She'd make batches for us and her different little ladies' groups. We ate them as snacks, side dishes, and they were great hors d'oeuvres. I bet you could offer us a tasty recipe for sweet potato puffs someday when you might have time. Thank you for your time and work creating a great channel.

Spraying oil is to fussy for raw tubers. Chuck them in a bowl with the preferred oil, and toss them with both hands until lightly coated.

[@tiffspatisserie7133]

To me I prefer when they don't include the measurements of the oil when it comes to like coating the fries. That way you can add as much or as little as you want and not have to be constricted with the whole "1 tsp" thing! I like to drizzle mine with LOTS of oil so that would be like what? 1/4 cup? But yeah who really needs to measure that stuff! The spray looks more efficient at getting the job done tbh! Also as for seasonings I prefer to use the sweet seasonings like cinnamon and nutmeg as well as the basic salt and pepper to mine since it is sweet after all so you need some of that warming spices to compliment it! Though it would be nice to try other seasonings that no one really uses but still goes really well with the fries! Like maybe cardamom?? five spice perhaps? Also it would be really cool if you also did candied sweet potatoes as well since that's one of my favourite ways to enjoy sweet potatoes! that and also pie and cheesecake too!
