Ingredients

  • 2 large sweet potatoes
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges (optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized french fry shapes.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cornstarch, all-purpose flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
  4. Add the sweet potato fries to the bowl and toss them in the flour mixture until evenly coated.
  5. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F (190°C).
  6. Carefully place the coated sweet potato fries into the hot oil, frying them in batches for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Remove the fries from the oil using a slotted spoon or tongs and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
  8. Transfer the partially cooked fries to a baking sheet and spread them out in a single layer.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until the fries are crisp and golden brown.
  10. Once done, remove the fries from the oven and sprinkle with fresh chopped cilantro if desired.
  11. Serve the sweet potato fusion french fries hot with lime wedges on the side for an extra splash of tanginess.
