- 2 medium Japanese sweet potatoes weight: 1¼lb
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F/ 218°C.
- Wash and scrub the potatoes well. Peel them partially or entirely, depending on your preference.
- Cut the potatoes into sticks. Thinner the quicker they will cook. Make sure they are evenly cut for even cooking.
- Place the potatoes in a large bowl and sprinkle cornstarch. Toss well to coat.
- Pour the oil over the potatoes and toss to coat.
- Place the potatoes on a baking sheet in one layer. You may need 2 sheets depending on the volume you have.
- Roast for about 25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Flip the fries once around 15 minutes into baking.
- Sprinkle salt and serve.
Notes
If you would like them to be on the crispier side, cut in ¼ inch thickness. For a softer interior, cut in ½ inch thickness.
Do not over crowd the potatoes as that can end up steaming and prevent them from getting crispy.
