Betty, thank you from the bottom of my spoon. I whipped up a batch of you french fried potatoes and, they were simply wonderful. Thank you for testing a new item, and a new way to express my food. I will subscribe to your videos. thanks again, your a life saver.
@bettyskitchen thanks gonna make the family a whole batch of them now also if you have the time you should make a video on how to make a sweet potato pie
Hi there! I am going to bake these tonight. I am wondering what would you have to do if they're frozen. ? Microvave before you put it in the over? or just put it in the oven like frozen
@ilovemakeupgal1998 If you want to bake them, cut them into strips and boil them for a little while, so that they will be partially cooked. (You may start from frozen strips.) Then drain and dry them off, place on a pan with nonstick aluminum foil, spray with cooking oil spray, and you may salt at this point, it you like. Bake about 10-15 minutes, until they are the consistency you like--much healthier, and just as good.
@mrSmiley1100 It would be healthier baked. If you want to bake them, cut them into strips and boil them for a little while, so that they will be partially cooked. Then drain and dry them off, place on a pan with nonstick aluminum foil, spray with cooking oil spray, and you may salt at this point, it you like. Bake about 10-15 minutes, until they are the consistency you like--much healthier, and just as good.
Looks delicious! I'm surprised at how crunchy they seem to be. It's hard to get sweet potato fries to come out crunchy. I have a little dipping sauce idea for ya that I use for my sweet potato fries. It requires mixing together mayo, a generous amount of curry powder (until it's deep yellow), some garlic salt, a little celery salt, and some black pepper (adjust everything to your taste)--REALLY good with these ;)
@Poenut Thanks so much for the dipping sauce recipe! I'm sure everyone will enjoy it! It sounds good paired with sweet potatoes. I am printing it out, so I won't forget to try it!
This seems to solve some of the problem I had- which is the soggy fry problem. Thanks Betty. They need more room so that the oil can do it's work. I think the only problem might be volume cooking. Like you need to let the first batch sit, so for potentially a bunch of people this might be hard because you either you have to serve only some people at a time, or let the first ones sit while several batches are piled on top. Not sure if that is optimum for taste
Thanks for the video. Is Peanut Oil the preferred oil for deep frying sweet potatoes? I tried this with olive oil and the oil began to smoke rather quickly.
@bettyskitchen Thanks for replying! I tried this with the peanut oil and it came out perfectly. They took about 2-3 minutes to cook. I did not add sugar however, I just kept the salt. Do you have video showing how to bake them instead of deep frying?
@Cappadoccia04 Thanks for the great feedback! I really appreciate it! I don't have baked sweet potato fries, but I do have baked potato fries, which might help.
love any kind of fries but sweet potato fries and barbecue ribs are just about the best combination ever....just starting to cook and going to try these
Betty, over the past year or so I have been using sweet potatoes right along with white potatoes to change things up a bit. Fried potatoes, sliced or cubed, both get used. Oven/french fried- both kinds. My whole family has enjoyed the addition and I can't understand why I didn't do this before. The added sweet potato makes anything taste better. I don't add anything sugary to them either while they cook or when they're done; only S&P. They're sweet enough as is, we think. Thanks
To make them softer in the middle, you can try putting the sliced up potato covered in water--not too much water, just enough to cover all the slices--in the microwave (in a microwave safe pot--nothing metal; ceramic or glass would be best) and set to 5 minutes. Then take them out (it'll be hot), thoroughly dry with paper towel, and deep fry for a couple of minutes, or glaze with oil and put them in the oven.
BETTY! these were the best things my hands ever touched and my tongue ever touched. THEY WERE SOOO SWEET AND DELICIOUS!!! Plus the ranch dip OMG great combination.
The absolutely best way to do this is to: bake them first (just little undercooked) then fry them about half of the time you would normally, then take them to cool and when they are cooled off you fry them again!
Absolutely perfect restaurant like crispy fries <3
@51jenjen You can test the oil as it gets hotter by putting single pieces of sweet potato in. If they don't sizzle much, wait a bit and try again. They should sizzle nicely, and if they seem to be getting too hot, turn the heat down. Just keep a watchful eye over them.
Those look really good, Betty! :) Another thing you can do, (well we do anyway) is to cut the sweet potato into thin-ish circles, add seasoning and then shallow fry in a cast iron skillet. They go really lovely and crunchy and we normally serve them with sour cream. :)
Would these taste good with some sprinkled cinnamon? Or will the cinnamon clash with the flavor of the sweet potato? I've never had sweet potatoes before.
@amenoacid09 If they cook slowly, they will be soft. I found mine to be crunchy on the outside, but soft inside--not much different from regular French fries. You might cook them over a little bit higher heat, or make them "shoestring" style (very slim).
@JoeHell67 Hi Joe! Nice to hear from you!!! These are good with salt, like regular fries--just expect them to taste sweeter. I really like to sprinkle them with sugar, too, but salt alone is fine! (I have a video on baked sweet potato in bettyskitchen that I did a long time ago, if you are interested!)
recipe Hi Betty ; ) My daughter made those in the oven. She got the recipe out of some low-calorie cookbook. She seasoned them also. They were pretty good ; ) Smiles!
Those do look yummy, Betty..guess I will pick up a couple in the store and try making frys out of them. What are we having for Halloween this year in way of a recipe? I bet Carter will be in on it for sure, lol..he's soo cute..love the funny things they say at that age. ((Hugs)) from Angie in AR
Lovely fries!! Just wondering do you think it would be ok to use brown sugar rather than regular sugar? Thanks for sharing your trip and another wonderful recipe.
I have an addiction for sweet potato fries lol But yeah, I was curious to know if you could do "Puppy Dog Chow" not the dog version but the human snack with chocolate and cereal.
@MrsMSG79 I don't think you need to fry them twice. The ones I demonstrated were rather thick, but they got done all the way through easily without overbrowning on the outside.
Betty, your a wonderful person! In my opinion, i think you should have your own cooking show! Rachel ray is good, but i think your a bit better! You never disappoint me in your videos, and i realy enjoy watching them:) your an inspiration for me and your just awesome! And very pretty too! Haha have a nice day!
i can buy one huge sweet potato for less than a $1 and with this recipe I don't need to go to Boston Pizza LOL and pay $3.99 for sweet potato fries and I can have as much as I want :)
