Ingredients:

  • 2 large Sweet Potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1/4 inch sticks
  • 1.5 tbsp Avocado oil
  • 1.5 tbsp Cornstarch
  • 1 tsp Kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp Smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp Cracked black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Peel 2 large sweet potatoes and trim the ends to create stable bases.
  2. Cut the potatoes into 1/4 inch (6mm) sticks. Note: Uniformity is key for even cooking.
  3. Spread the sticks on a clean kitchen towel and pat them until they are bone dry. Do not skip this.
  4. Place the dry sticks in a bowl and toss with 1.5 tbsp cornstarch. Wait until every fry is matte and white.
  5. Drizzle 1.5 tbsp avocado oil over the starched potatoes. Note: This creates the slurry that fries into a crust.
  6. Sprinkle in 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, and 1/4 tsp pepper. Toss until the spices are evenly distributed.
  7. Set your machine to 190°C (380°F) for 3 minutes to preheat the fryer.
  8. Place the fries in a single layer in the basket. Cook 12 minutes total, shaking the basket halfway through until the edges are dark gold and stiff.
  9. Let them sit in the basket for 2 minutes after the timer goes off. Note: This allows the steam to escape so they don't soften immediately.
