Method
Peel the sweet potato.
Cut the peeled sweet potato into 1 cm batons.
Heat oil in a pot on a stovetop.
Test the oil temperature by dipping a single coated baton into the pot.
Combine plain flour, cornflour, rice flour, bicarbonate, and baking powder in a bowl.
Add water and white wine vinegar, whisking until a smooth batter forms.
Dust sweet potato batons with a third of the flour mixture.
Toss the sweet potato batons to coat them evenly with the flour.
Repeat dusting and tossing until all the flour mixture and liquid have been used and the batons are fully coated.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Each baton has an even layer of batter.
Fry the coated sweet potato batons in the hot oil for 4 minutes, allowing the coating to set before the sugars caramelize.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Coating sets and fries to a golden, crisp shell.
Remove the fries with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Rack lets excess oil drain away from the crust.
Season immediately with salt or your favorite seasoning while still hot.
Serve hot for a crispy, golden finish.
