Instructions
- Preparation: Cut the sweet potato into sticks and place them in a medium-sized bowl. Add enough water to cover the sweet potatoes and soak for 5 minutes. Drain and pat the sweet potatoes dry with a paper towel.
- Pan-frying: Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the sweet potatoes and pan fry for 5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Season: Serve the sweet potatoes on a plate. Sprinkle salt on top to your taste and serve with a dipping sauce of your choice.
Notes
- The Japanese sweet potato skins are edible and contain valuable nutrients, just like other varieties of sweet potatoes. Therefore, I recommend consuming sweet potatoes with the skin on. However, if you do not enjoy the skin's texture, peel it off.
- Soaking sweet potatoes can not only help to remove the bitterness but also help to prevent the color from changing.
- See Variations for a different flavor.
