Ingredients
For the Sweet Potato Fries
- 1 large sweet potato peeled and spiral-sliced
- 4 cups olive oil or other frying oil of your choice
- Kosher salt to season after frying
For the Lemon Garlic Aioli
- 1 cup olive oil mayo
- 8-10 cloves roasted garlic smashed
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley finely chopped
- 1 pinch kosher salt or coarse sea salt
- 1 pinch fresh cracked black pepper
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Gather the tools and ingredients for the recipe.
- Wash the sweet potatoes and let them dry.
- Peel (optional) and spiralize the sweet potatoes. You can leave the skin on for a rustic feel. The skin will be hard to notice on shoestring fries.
- Prepare the lemon garlic aioli. Add all ingredients to a bowl. Mix well with a fork and set aside.
Cooking Instructions
- Add oil to the high-sided pot, ensuring it is not more than ⅓ full of oil. Heat over medium-high heat to 375°F (190°C). Once it has reached this temperature, increase the heat to high.
- Add the spiralized sweet potato slowly and in small batches to the oil. Be careful not to splash or cause a boil-over.
- Cook for 1 minute 25 seconds for crispy edges, then remove from the oil. Place on a paper towel-lined or rack-rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt.
- Clip the thermometer back onto the pot and bring it back to temperature. Repeat the earlier steps with the remaining sweet potato.
- Serve with the lemon garlic aioli and enjoy.
