Instructions
- 1Wash and cut the sweet potatoes into quarters. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- 2Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Carefully lower the sweet potato quarters into the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and tender, flipping occasionally to ensure even cooking.
