Ingredients
- 3-4 Sweet Potatoes
- 3 tbsp Vegetable Oil
- 2 tsp Smoked Paprika
- 2 tsp Dried Thyme
- 2 tsp Sea salt
Instructions
- Peel or scrub the sweet potatoes before cutting them into long thin wedges (about ½ inch or less). Try to cut them into fairly equal sizes. Put the potato wedges into a large bowl of cold water and leave them there for 30 minutes to draw out the starch - this will help make your fries more crispy. Pour the water out and dry the potato wedges with a clean cloth or paper towel. Pour the potato wedges into a bowl and season with vegetabl oil, smoked paprika, thyme and 1 tsp salt. Pour them onto a baking tray lined with tinfoil or baking parchment and spread out the fries - this will make them more crispy. Bake the fries at 390 Degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes or until they are golden and crispy. Stir them halfway through baking to make them golden on both sides. Once they are cooked and crispy, take the fries out of the oven and leave them to rest for 1-2 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining salt.
