how do i make my baked sweet potato fries more crisp? page 2

[BennettC]

You will want to blanch them in oil, water will just put more moisture back into them. so in coconut oil is probably your best bet. Although I think you could probably dry them out halfway in the oven and then fry them. I haven't tried this myself though, just an idea.

my perfect sweet potato fries.

Purple skinned Japanese sweet potatoes ( they are dry enough )

cold cast iron skillet
coconut oil

slice into pinky sized lengths
place in pan
cover with a cup of coconut oil (at least)

turn on medium high heat ( you do cook with gas right ???)

turn as the sides crisp ( start looking at 5 minutes)

remove from heat...

perfecto

all other sweets are too wet... if you want to use them cook on much much much lower heat, say medium low for much longer.
