Betty demonstrates how to make Sweet Potato Fries. This recipe was inspired by the recent trip that my husband, Rick, and I took to Acres of Land Winery. Rick ordered Sweet Potato Fries to go with his Crab Cake Sandwich. These are sweet potato strips that are deep-fried in oil, and then drained and sprinkled with salt and sugar. They are delicious! If you are not comfortable deep-frying with oil, please do not try this recipe.
Sweet Potato Fries
raw sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into strips like French fry potatoes. (I used a red variety, but you may also use a white variety.)
peanut oil for deep-frying (You may use another oil, if you prefer.)
a sprinkling of salt
a sprinkling of sugar
Heat about 1 inch of peanut oil to 350 degrees in a pot over medium heat. With a long, slotted utensil, ease a batch of sweet potato strips into the hot oil. Move the potatoes around in the oil with the utensil as they cook. You may need to adjust the heat throughout the cooking process, because you may have several batches. You will be able to tell when the sweet potatoes are done. If you are not sure, just take one out and let it cool a bit, and then take a bite. It should be tender all the way through. Use a slotted utensil to remove the first batch to a rack or to a tray covered with paper towels. Immediately sprinkle the Sweet Potato Fries with salt, and then with sugar. Repeat this process for as many batches as you have. When you have finished deep-frying, draining, and seasoning the sweet potatoes, move them to a nice serving plate, and serve while hot! These are scrumptious and are a nice alternative to regular French fries as a side dish. I hope you enjoy these Sweet Potato Fries! –Betty

you should cover them with starch so they won’t get soggy
+mrgibson That’s a good idea. 🙂
This is a wonderful video. Thank you for sharing it. I made some today and
they were great plain or with mustard:)
We make these all the time with olive oil (regular, not extra virgin
because it has a higher smoking temperature) and it tastes great WITHOUT
adding salt or sugar. You can also use canola oil. Both olive and canola
oils are very healthy for deep frying. Just don’t use lard or shortening.
OMG I am so glad I ran across this video I tried it and they were great
thanks!!!!!!
every other video is health concenious, while this video is about DEEP
FRYING….lmao
+real natural People loved fried foods. Also, depending on who you ask, it
might not be unhealthy. But go ahead and laugh.
I love your accent, Betty. Btw, I’m so trying this recipe. Thanks!
good job betty!
Betty, your always worrying about people being safe, so sweet. Can you
leave off the sugar? Some people can’t eat to much sugar. These can be
done in the oven?
+Carol Napolitano You may leave off the sugar, sure, and you may do them in
the oven although the texture will probably not please you quite as much. I
would sprinkle a little salt on either way.
Your pretty hot
You are so sweet, thank you for wonderful video and I will try it.
Hey guys i am new youtuber who wold greatly appreciate it if you could
support and give me feedback for my videos ! Please let me know and thank
you everyone :)
Can I do it with Olive oil instead? if yes, can someone please translate
this recipe to metric system?
+Betty’s Kitchen
Thank you very much :3
Olive oil will work. It is pricy, though, and you have to watch carefully
to make sure it doesn’t smoke.
Betty
you are so sweet 🙂
and this is great thanks!
She’s edible.
I made some tonight, I omitted the sugar, sweet potatoes are sweet enough
for me and I also cooked them in coconut oil, it was very tasty…thanks
for the video Betty :)
I just made some from half of my giant sweet potatoe, and it takes soooo
good, Thank you for that recipe. it’s soooo Delectable.
I made some yesterday and they were delectable. Thanks!
This lady is sooo Sweeeet and has a lovely accent . Betty you are #1 in my
book baby girl.
great
betty. your smoking hot.
nice
You don’t have to boil the sweet potatoes first; it just insures that they
will not be crunchy at all inside. I think coarse salt sprinkled over the
top looks great; You can choose to sprinkle with sugar, instead. Also, sour
cream mixed with brown sugar makes a good dipping sauce. –Betty 🙂
