2 large sweet potatoes (about 3 pounds, total)


2 quarts vegetable oil


1 tablespoon brown sugar


1/2 teaspoon salt


Pinch cayenne


Pinch cinnamon








Boil sweet potatoes in water to cover for 10 minutes. Remove and allow to cool. Peel potatoes and cut into 1/4 by 1/4-inch thick batons.





Meanwhile in a 5-quart pot or Dutch oven fitted with a candy or deep-frying thermometer, (or in an electric deep fryer), heat oil over medium-low heat until the thermometer registers 300 degrees F. Make sure you have at least 3 inches of space between the top of the oil and the top of the pan, as fries will bubble up when they are added.





Increase the heat to medium-high and add fries, a handful at a time, to the hot oil. Fry, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are soft and limp and just begin to brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Using a skimmer or slotted spoon, carefully remove fries from the oil and set aside to drain on paper towels. Let rest for at least 10 minutes or up to 2 hours.





When ready to serve the fries, reheat the oil to 350F. Transfer the blanched potatoes to the hot oil and fry again, stirring frequently until browned and puffed, about 1 minute. Transfer to paper lined platter and allow to drain for a minute.





Combine the brown sugar, salt, cayenne and cinnamon in a large bowl. Add the fries and toss to coat. Serve immediately.
Try cutting the sweet potato like a french fry. Fry them in oil at high heat, the highest your fryer will go. They will not fry just like regular potatoes, but they will do well. Drain them on paper towels then season them with cinnamon/sugar(1 cup sugar to a teaspoon of ground cinnamon). Always a hit with my kids.
