Love & Best Dishes: Sweet Potato Home Fries Recipe | Crispy Sweet Potato Fries Recipe

You know what? Y'all heard me say so often, I never met a tater I didn't like. And that is so true. And I also love sweet potatoes. So we have cubed our sweet potatoes. We have boiled them. So basically they're done. Now I'm just gonna spread them out and I'm gonna put them down in the deep fryer for five or six minutes, kind of undisturbed. Now, if you don't have a deep fryer, you can do it in a big skillet with a couple of tablespoons of oil. So there we go. I have not disturbed these potatoes for the whole six minutes. And for Paula, that ain't easy. Cause you know I'm going to check that potato and see what it's doing. So six minutes. I can't see the drain hook, Eddie. Am I getting close to it? That's that, thank you. That's that- depth of perception. That depth of perception that I just can't see. So we're gonna let it just drain for a second. And these were already done. They were cooked for about 10 minutes in salt water. And so we wanted them extra crisp. So that's why I didn't disturb them. So I want to drain the vegetable off. And you can hear that they're crispy when I hit that plate. I can hear the crisp all the way over here. You could. All right, now here's the deal y'all. Uh oh, Eddie, don't step in that potato. I dropped one. So here's the thing, salt or sugar. I cooked potato fries for Michael and me the other night and I put both. I could not make up my mind. So I said, you can't go wrong if you use some of each, can you? So here's my next question to y'all. You know how much I love a potato and I would love for y'all to share with me. I saw you steal that one, Eddie. Eddie just stole one of your potatoes. No, he did not. I'm telling you, I can't believe it. Seems like most of the time I can't get Eddie to even try anything. All right, so there is a fork. Y'all jump in. How hot are they, Eddie? They're not hot. Well, they just came out of the deep fryer. What do you think? It's not too bad. Hot! Yum, yum and hot. Do they need more sugar? I think they do. I bet the triplets would eat these. Cinnamon and sugar. Oh. Yeah, I think they... Who's coming in this house? Who we gonna have to share our fries with? Who is it? It's Carl. Hey, Carl. So this is Carl Schumacher and I'll tell you a quick story how we met. I met him in 1989. It was probably May of 89. And I was in Thompson Sporting Good to have our bag lady shirts printed up because we were gonna start running our route in June, June the 19th. And Carl was standing in line because he had just received his CPA license and he was wanting to have some cards made up or something. And we started talking, found out that we were both fixing to start our business and he gave me a card. I put it in my wallet and I called him two years later. And we've been together ever since. That was 1989. It's a small world. He would rather have chocolate than these sweet potatoes. No, those are good. I can tell that much about him. No, those are good. I can eat those. Come on! I can eat those like popcorn. Yeah, cut like that. Yeah, you can. It's just like popcorn. Eat up, eat up. So, having said that, I've got to go because he's here for a reason. So I got to go find out what that reason is. Please don't tell me I don't got no beans left. Hey y'all, it's Paula Deen.
