Amazing Sweet Potato Fries!
Serves 2 as a side
-
2 medium sized sweet potatoes
-
1/4 cup cornstarch or cornflour
-
1 teaspoon salt (I used a chilli salt)
-
4 tablespoons oil (I used avocado oil so it's a bit greener in colour)
-
4 tablespoons mayonnaise
-
1 tablespoon chilli sauce
Step 1 - Preheat oven to 220C/428F and line a large baking tray with parchment. Peel sweet potatoes and cut into chip sized batons. Soak in cold water while the oven is preheating.
Step 2 - When the oven is ready, take a ziplock bag and add the cornstarch or cornflour to the bag along with the salt and shake around. Drain the sweet potato batons in a colander and add to the bag. Seal the bag and shake around the sweet potato so that the pieces are coated in the flour. If you need more flour you can add it along with a bit more salt.
Step 3 - Spread out the batons onto the prepared tray and drizzle with the oil and toss with your hands. Bake for 25 minutes and then using a turner (try not to use tongs as they can be delicate and soft) turn the chips over so that they crisp on all sides.
Step 4 - Mix the mayonnaise and chilli sauce together and serve with the hot fries.
