VeganMOFO: Sweet Potato Fries for the win




I think it is an art (or luck?) in achieving perfectly crispy homemade sweet potato fries. Too often they turn out kinda soggy (but still delicious,) or dried out, but occasionally I can manage that perfect crisp. I shook these around in some olive oil, salt, pepper, and some tapioca starch (was out of cornstarch) until everything was evenly coated. You have to get that perfect balance of just enough oil and just enough starch, but not too much of either or the results won't be ideal. But yeah, sweet potato fries for the win this time!
