How to prepare Fried sweet potatoes

To prepare fried sweet potatoes, first peel the sweet potatoes 1. Cut them into slices about 1/2 inch thick 2 and then into matchsticks 3, obtaining sticks about 1/2 inch wide.

Meanwhile, heat the oil to 340°F, and while the temperature is rising, finely chop the garlic (remove the germ) along with the rosemary and thyme, both stripped from their stems 4. Transfer to a bowl and add the salt 5. Mix well 6 and set aside.

Immerse a few sweet potato sticks at a time, using a slotted spoon 7. Wait about 5 minutes, and when they are golden brown, remove them from the oil 8 and transfer them to a tray lined with paper towels to remove excess oil 9.
