Baked Sweet Potato Fries

Ever since I saw a sweet potato fries post on Foodgawker, I wanted to try my hands at making them at home. So, looking around on the Net, my version is an amalgam of this and this recipe. The original recipe is great, but adding garlic just makes a good thing even greater. I didn’t have garlic powder, so just used freshly minced garlic.

Sweet Potato Fries

Ingredients:

• 1 large sweet potato
• Teaspoon of rock salt
• 3-4 cloves of garlic
• 1 teaspoon of paprika/chilli powder
• Handful of corn starch
• 3 tablespoons of olive oil

To make:

Preheat your oven at the highest temperature available for 10-15 minutes.

Peel the skin off the sweet potato and slice the potato into French fry-sized slivers.

Smash up or grate the garlic into very tiny pieces.

Combine the oil, garlic, chilli powder, and salt to make a batter.

Dip each potato chip into the batter, coating well.

Lay the chips on a baking tray.

Dust some corn starch on top.

Bake the potatoes for 25-30 minutes or until the potatoes are done.
