Ingredients

  • Sweet potatoes
  • Sugar
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

  • Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them lengthwise into chunks.
  • Boil them in covered water until almost fork tender. Drain.
  • Slice the chunks lengthwise into thick pieces, about ½-inch thick.
  • Sprinkle a generous amount of sugar on top of each slice. Turn the slice over and sprinkle that side with sugar as well.
  • Place the slices into a pan that has heated oil.
  • These are best done on top of the stove in a cast iron pan. But you can fry them in any skillet. I would not do these in a deep fryer. They are delicate and might fall apart.
  • When the bottoms of the slices are browned, flip the slices over to cook the other side.
  • Place the fried sweet potatoes in an aluminum-foil lined plate.

EXTRA TIP:

BEST PAN FOR THESE:   A Cast iron skillet, or a heavy duty skillet on top of the stove are the best pans for these.  You can use an electric skillet but they will take longer to caramelize.
