Betty's Sweet Potato Fries
Instructions
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
