Smokey Sweet Potato Fries

Prep time: 7 minutes Cooking time:   6-8 minutes per batch INGREDIENTS 2 lbs sweet potatoes cut into thin fries 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika 1/4 teaspoon sugar 1 cup cornstarch 3/4 cup water. Vegetable oil for your deep fat fryer INSTRUCTION Heat your deep fat fryer to 190C. Cut your potatoes into thin fries. Mix the salt, garlic powder, paprika and sugar in a bowl and set aside. Mix the cornstarch and water . Dip the fries into the cornstarch/water mix to thoroughly coat then allow the residue to drip off them. Move them to the fryer, you may need to do this in two batches as you don't want to overfill the fryer in case they all stick together. Fry each batch for 6-8 minutes until crispy, stirring them when needed to avoid them sticking together. After each batch is done, place them on kitchen towel and dust them with the paprika mix. Enjoy!! :)
