I made the baked version today. Couple of things that I think everyone should know. Baking takes a LONG TIME. I know it doesn’t seem like it in the video, but between soaking, drying, baking, flipping, baking, and crisping, it is a 2 hour process. Plan accordingly. These need to be peeled. The skin will burn in the oven if you don’t. Rather than leave the oven completely open to crisp, I would crack it open and keep an eye. I found that my fries were getting cold after the 10 min crisping period. Other than that, the ones that came out well were the best fries I’ve done in the oven. Good recipe.

Odd this. Soak in water for 1 hour to remove starch. Later, add corn starch to add starch that Sweet Potatoes lack. What one is it? 😄

"we soak to help get rid of the starch" "so then we add starch that they naturally lack" :think:

@ChefJackOvens

It’s a different type of starch. We remove any natural starch which will prevent them from being soggy and replace it with a starch (corn or potato) which will get them crispy. 👌

I just use an oil strainer from Amazon for $5 USD, And into an Empty Clean Apple Juice Container . The strainer is meant for used oil and catches any burnt or excess particles.

Organic Coconut Oil is the best for deep frying as it has a very high heat tolerance so does not create any nasty chemicals like processed seed oil (especially canola - steer clear of that!) and can be used for ages. It costs a lot more but you get what you pay for....clean food.

So Chef..this is something I do not get..you soak the sweet potatoes to remove the starch (in order to get crispy) and then you add starch (in order to get crispy). How does this work?

@ChefJackOvens

4 жыл бұрын

The natural starch in sweet potatoes contain pectin, we remove that and add a new starch that will crisp. The natural starch will steam the potatoes and not get them crisp. With the fried version. The vinegar slows the breakdown of pectin allowing them too crisp, without the natural sugars burning. If we were to fry them without adding the cornstarch, the potatoes will become soggy. There’s a bit of science involved in the recipe.

Unfortunately cornstarch or cornflour is needed in this recipe. It’s what gives the sweet potato it’s crispness. Anything else will cause the potatoes to become soggy and burn.

Hi Chef, I'm making the fried version as I write this. I purchased expeller Sunflower oil, but what about Avocado or Coconut oil for deep frying?

@ChefJackOvens

4 жыл бұрын

Hey Marc. Avocado oil has a really high point, meaning it can be heated to a very high temperature (260c-500f). If you do deep fry in avocado oil, it will let off a nutty flavour, which will be passed onto anything you deep fry in it. Coconut oil is also good, around 90% of the fatty acids in coconut oil are saturated, making it resistant to heat. Please enjoy the fries, they are so good!
