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