Sweet Potato Fries Like a Chef

Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-centimeter thick batons.

In a large bowl, combine plain flour, cornflour, rice flour, bicarbonate of soda, and baking powder. Whisk to combine.

Coat the sweet potato batons in layers. First, dust them with a third of the flour mixture and toss to coat.

Pour over half of the liquid mixture (water and white wine vinegar), toss, then add another third of the flour mixture and toss again.

Repeat the process with the remaining liquid and flour until the sweet potatoes are fully coated in a thick, structured batter.

Heat cooking oil to 160°C (320°F) in a deep pot. Carefully add the coated sweet potatoes and fry for 4 minutes.

Remove the fries from the oil, place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined bowl to drain, and season immediately with salt.
