Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs Sweet potatoes
  • 5 tbsp cornstarch divided
  • ½ cup soda water
  • Oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • Peel your sweet potatoes and cut them into even ¼" thick fry like shapes.
  • Place your sweet potatoes in ice water and allow them to soak for 30 minutes.
    Drain your sweet potatoes.
  • Par boil your sweet potatoes for 2 minutes and remove from water. Pat dry with paper towel to absorb any liquid.
    Toss with 2 tbsp of cornstarch.
  • In a separate bowl add in remaining corn starch, along with soda water and whisk together.
    In batches, dip fries into the batter, allowing excess to drain before placing fries into oil.
  • Once your oil is heated to 275℉, begin frying fries in batches, careful not to overcrowd the apparatus. Fry for about 3 minutes.
    Raise heat to 350℉ and fry the fries once more for about 2 minutes or until golden and crispy.
  • Remove from oil, drain briefly, and salt immediately.
    Serve immediately.
