Stovetop Sweet Potato Fries

Stovetop Sweet Potato Fries

Want to make some delicious sweet potato fries right at home? My easy recipe will show you how to get crispy, caramelized sweet potato fries without needing a deep fryer or oven. 

Sweet potatoes are great because they can caramelize on the stovetop without any added sugars because they are already naturally sweet! When you cook sweet potatoes, they release their own sugars, which then undergo a chemical reaction known as the Maillard reaction. This reaction not only gives the sweet potatoes a nice golden brown color but also amps up their flavor. To get that caramelization, all you need to do is cook the sweet potatoes in a cast-iron skillet with a bit of butter to help things along.

Ingredients:

  • 2 large sweet potatoes

  • 2 tablespoons of butter

  • 1 teaspoon of seasoning salt

  • 1 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper

  • 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika

  • 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder

Instructions:

Wash the sweet potatoes and peel them. Cut them into thin strips, like you'd do when preparing regular French fries.


In a bowl, toss the sweet potato fries with seasoning salt, freshly ground black pepper, smoked paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder until they are evenly coated.


Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and allow it to melt. Then add the seasoned sweet potato fries to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 12 to 15 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the fries are crispy and cooked through.


Once the sweet potato fries are done, remove them from the skillet and serve hot. Enjoy them as a delicious and healthy snack or side dish!
