Thanks for watching!
I made the baked version today. Couple of things that I think everyone should know. Baking takes a LONG TIME. I know it doesn’t seem like it in the video, but between soaking, drying, baking, flipping, baking, and crisping, it is a 2 hour process. Plan accordingly.
These need to be peeled. The skin will burn in the oven if you don’t.
Rather than leave the oven completely open to crisp, I would crack it open and keep an eye. I found that my fries were getting cold after the 10 min crisping period.
Other than that, the ones that came out well were the best fries I’ve done in the oven. Good recipe.
15 mins in airfryer
I’m going to try this tonight! So excited because a couple restaurants serve this amazing sauce I couldn’t find for years and finally found a recipe for it today! Honey Siracha is the name for anyone who wants a hotter sauce to complement this amazing side!
Awesome! Please enjoy them 😊👌

Honey + Sriracha mixed together or a Sriracha with honey?
I love how clean your stove and pot are. I get turned off watching dirty chefs.
Thank you for video. Fried is my fav too.
Cleanliness is a massive part of cooking. It’s not nice to cook in a dirty environment. I’m glad you enjoyed it. The fried version of this recipe is amazing! 😊
Can I use apple Cider vinegar
Im glad that in every video the chef describe and show every steps including the way of cutting it :)
Glad you enjoy it!
Odd this. Soak in water for 1 hour to remove starch. Later, add corn starch to add starch that Sweet Potatoes lack. What one is it? 😄
@@Ali_Leitch the corn starch thats inside the sweet potatoes needs to be drained. The added corn starch is for the outside of the fries.
Lol "social distance them"
Haha 😉
Funny
Love it lol
I tried ur recipe and it turned out really nice.... thanks...
Omg did I just hear what I heard aaah jajaja 🤣🤣👍
I just use an oil strainer from Amazon for $5 USD, And into an Empty Clean Apple Juice Container . The strainer is meant for used oil and catches any burnt or excess particles. For $5 it makes the process of Saving Oil Sooooo Easy 😁.
Btw, my potato slices are cooling and just about to go into my cornstarch slurry. Thanks very much for your video. Hopefully it turns out ok !😁
"we soak to help get rid of the starch"
"so then we add starch that they naturally lack"
:think:
It’s a different type of starch. We remove any natural starch which will prevent them from being soggy and replace it with a starch (corn or potato) which will get them crispy. 👌
@@ChefJackOvens Fair, I was just kidding anyway, they looked great!
Haha, all good! Glad you enjoyed it! 👌👌
LOL...I KNOW...Right!
That was also my question. Thanks!
GREAT video! I followed your fried version step by step and made my best sweet potato fries yet!
Fantastic! Great job. Glad you enjoyed them.
I love sweet potato fries! Im totally making this soon using your method. Usually, I like to season them with italian herbs. Thanks Chef!
They are really good! You can add any of your favourite seasonings to these. 😊
It is sooo worth the time I tried it and it tasted like heaven and it best eaten with sour cream
Thank you!!! not everyone wants to bake. Sometime your viewers dont even have oven or microwave like me😩 I could only do fried or skillet recipes
You’re very welcome! 👌
Yesterday I baked sweet potato!! I craved fried one but worried calories.. It was nice but some were bit bitter maybe I overcooked☹️ So im gonna make again following this recipe!! Now my new question is which one would be my snack between baked potato and baked sweet potato 😋
Prop up youtube algorithm to bring your cream mushroom recipe up to mine. Im supposed to sleep but cant stop watching😂😂
I'm very sorry for the late reply! The natural sugars (Pectin) that's in sweet potato do burn very quickly and definitely taste bitter, unfortunately. The fried version is amazing but obviously not as healthy as the baked. You should 100% give this recipe a go, be it baked or fried they are both delicious. Thank you for watching!
So Chef..this is something I do not get..you soak the sweet potatoes to remove the starch (in order to get crispy) and then you add starch (in order to get crispy).
How does this work?
The natural starch in sweet potatoes contain pectin, we remove that and add a new starch that will crisp. The natural starch will steam the potatoes and not get them crisp. With the fried version. The vinegar slows the breakdown of pectin allowing them too crisp, without the natural sugars burning. If we were to fry them without adding the cornstarch, the potatoes will become soggy. There’s a bit of science involved in the recipe.
@@ChefJackOvens Thanks for the reply!
I can't imagine myself creating so much washing-up for few French fries,
but I do understand that if you want good food, you cook it right.
None of the above. I simply boil it , my lazy cheap and quick way. Great idea you have. It's an option.
The incredible lack of wastage in your videos is giving me life!!! Awesome job!!! ✨
Hi Chef, thanka for the recipe. I did the bake version. The sweet potatoes were so crunchy and yummy!!
That’s awesome to hear! Glad you enjoyed them
Good recipe! I fried mine and they turned out perfect! YUM
Glad you liked it!!
I do hate the flipping part whenever I bake something,
which is why I use a net like tray so they cook on both sides at the same time.
Hahaha I just subscribed. Punch line ' social distancing them' hehehe LOL.
Haha 😂 thank you for subscribing!
Trying the fried version as I post my comment! Can’t wait 😝
Hope you enjoy them 😊
Thanks for sharing
You’re very welcome 😊
Loved" now we are social distancing them"
😊😉
I found that funny too.
Respect from Canterbury U.K.
Thank you for the recipe, tried the fried version turned out great
That’s great to hear! I’m glad you enjoyed it.
I like that he gives us other useful tips
Glad you enjoy them!
Thank you for this video! I actually made the fried recipe a few months ago and they came out great. I’m wondering though if arrowroot powder might work, or is that too similar a starch as yams?
Looks good 👍 have you ever tried these in air fryer
Thank you. To be honest, no I haven’t. I’m sure they would work very well though 😊
I just harvested my sweet potatoes, this looks like a must do 🤔👍
It's so good!
Hi Chef, I'm making the fried version as I write this. I purchased expeller Sunflower oil, but what about Avocado or Coconut oil for deep frying?
Hey Marc. Avocado oil has a really high point, meaning it can be heated to a very high temperature (260c-500f). If you do deep fry in avocado oil, it will let off a nutty flavour, which will be passed onto anything you deep fry in it. Coconut oil is also good, around 90% of the fatty acids in coconut oil are saturated, making it resistant to heat. Please enjoy the fries, they are so good!
@@ChefJackOvens can I use apple cider vinegar in the boiling instead Chef ?
I use light refined olive oil...takes the heat better than extra virgin and not as much of the olive taste!
Social distancing! Love that! 🤣🤣
Great video! Is potato starch a good substitute for corn starch?
Yes it is! Thank you very much.
These came out perfect! Great video!!
Glad you enjoyed them!
Tried the fried ones! Turned out really well! Thanks:)
Awesome, this is great to hear! Glad you enjoyed them!
Glad I found your channel.
Glad you did too! Hello and welcome 🙏
thank you for making it so easy to follow. i didn't know how to make crunchy sweet potato fries. yummy
Jack you are so good indeed amazing explanation well done 👍
Glad you think so!
Can I do this in the air fryer too? Same steps?
That's a damn sharp knife
It really is
Can't wait to try the fried version! Thank you :)
Can I replace cornstarch with corn flour?
I'm making these rn I really need to know😂
I’m sorry for the late reply, I wish I had seen this earlier. It’s fine to replace the cornstarch with corn flour, they are very similar in what they do. I hope you enjoyed them! 😊
@@ChefJackOvens do we have to use vinegar?
Great video. So I went through comments and no one asked this. Can I substitute vinegar with lemon? I want to make this today 😊
I'm so sorry for the late reply!! Yes you can! Please enjoy
@@ChefJackOvens thank you.
Can I use the oil again for any deep frying? I think what I am asking is, will the flavour from the sweet potatoes be in the oil?
Hey Steven! It won’t taste heavily of sweet potato but may have a slight smell of them. It will still be fine to use to deep fry anything else 😊
Is Cornstarch in the UK cornflour?
Yeah In UK and Australia cornstarch is cornflour 😊
how come you make a cornstrach slurry for frying but not baking
Hey Jack, could you air fry them to be just as crispy and tasty as the fried version? Thanks Mate
Yes you can. I personally have never made them in an air fryer but, it will work the same as the baked version.
Can I use apple cider vinegar instead of white vinegar?
Is the parchment paper necessary? or can i use aluminum foil? sorry if this has been asked already!
Please don't be sorry! Aluminium foil does work however they may slightly stick.
Chef Jack Ovens thank you for the quick response! I’m excited to make them!
Would rice flour work in replace of the corn flour? Wanting to make these tonight but don’t have any corn flour 😩
Unfortunately not sorry. You need the corn flour or potato starch to get the crunch, without these you won’t get a crispy skin.
This got you a new subscriber! Yum!
Welcome to the channel! Thank you so much for subscribing, your support is greatly appreciated! 🙏
I blanched 7 pounds of sweet potato fries and now I don’t know if I can fry them from frozen or bake them from frozen or if I should let them unthaw?
Yeah you can fry them from frozen 😊
Awesome
Thanks for showing some new tricks. Try once to mix them with Indian spices.
You're welcome! These would be amazing with spices.
You're really gooood!!! Love it😄
Thank you so much!!
@@ChefJackOvens I'm trying it out right now as we speak. Thank you very much definitely earned yourself a new subscriber 😄😄
Duration of time for preheating?
Nice can't wait to try
I apologise for the late reply! Please enjoy.
Thanks for sharing mate
My pleasure.
Chef Jack Ovens Hey Jack, I did your chops mate turned out great couldn’t believe I am starting to cook now take care mate. Hope your well keep safe
Can I use grapeseed oil for the fried version?
Great question! Unfortunately its high levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids make it unsuitable for high-heat cooking, such as frying.
The fried ones , we need to put into oven ?
Can I use olive oil?
You can for the baked version but not for the fried. Olive Oil has a lower smoke point than vegetable oil and will burn if it's used for deep frying. Olive oil is best for baked and pan fried goods.
@@ChefJackOvens okay thank you! :)
Heyyyy. Ok so if I want to add paprika to my fries (fried) do I add it after frying them or with the wet corn starch mixture?
You can make a little paprika salt mix to add to the fries once they’ve been cooked 👌👌
Better ad any spices after cooking or they will burn and loose all flavor
@@piccoleitor ....yep! Will possibly make a bitter taste too!
At beginning you soaked them to get rid of starch.. Then you say you add corn starch as they have no natural starch? Explain please
Nice
Im glad you like it!
It would've been great to listen how crisp each are!
One question chef, can't you just simply fry sweet potatoes, same way as potatoes? I always bake mine to save calories but I might try fried sweet potatoes.
I put apple cider vinegar bc i didnt have white vinegar and while boiling them i can smell it is2g if i can taste it at the end
Gracias ☺️
🙏🙏
If you leave the skin on for the fry version will it make them less crispy?
very good
Glad you think so!
Baking is more better cause more healthy no oil easy to clean too
Social Distancing the 🍟 😂
You know it! haha.
How do you remember the little tips like add white vinegar to sweet potato for thst reason, do you have notes or just remember naturally after being a chef so long?
Whats your thoughts on induction hobs? Ive alwags used gas hobs but looking to build a house and unsure for the future
Hey Dan. Yeah it’s just a muscle memory sort of thing like riding a bike, especially after doing it for so long. I do have to refresh my memory on certain things every now and again but it comes back in an instant.
Personally I rarely use induction unless I really need to but that just my preference. They do heat up a lot faster but can be uneven in temperature distribution. Gas is also a lot cheaper than electricity.
@@ChefJackOvens, thanks, gas is what I'm used to so I'll stick with a gas hob. Im assuming that electric ovens cook more evenly, again ive only used a gas oven.
Hit em with maple syrup or cinnamon & sugar when they come out the fryer then serve. Talk about good😋
So good!!
Can I use all purpose flower instead of cornstarch?
Unfortunately not.
Haha social distancing the fries 👏😁
Haha 😂
Can you add potato instead of corn starch?
?
I hungry .. I don’t have time for that 1 hr 😂
😉😂
Awesome !
Soaking in water is not needed for sweet potato, they dont have enough starch as it is, thats why you add starch.
It is needed. They do have starch and that starch is high in sugar and will burn if not removed.
No cornstarch?
Why remove the starch by soaking in water and then add it back later on??
Because the natural starch contains pectin, we remove that and add a new starch that will crisp. The natural starch will steam the potatoes and not get them crisp. With the fried version. The vinegar slows the breakdown of pectin allowing them to crisp, without the natural sugars burning. If we were to fry them without adding the cornstarch, the potatoes will become soggy. There’s a bit of science involved in the recipe.
are there any substitutions for cornstarch?
The only substitute would be Potato starch however, It is recommended to use cornstarch, if you can.
Could I switch the sea salt with regular salt???
Of course!
yummy thanks
Glad you think so!
Wait... You soak them to remove starch... But then add corn starch to add starch?
The natural starch will burn too quick and become soggy. We remove that, then add a new starch which will allow them to crisp.
At. With pretty much social distancing them- made me like and subscribe
Haha awesome! Thanks so much! 🙏
Can you use distilled vinegar instead of white vinegar ?
Yes you can. Distilled vinegar is a bit weaker than white vinegar with an acetic acid percentage of 5%-8% whereas white vinegar contains 5%-20% acetic acid. This means that I’d suggest adding in 40ml of Distilled vinegar instead of the 30ml that is in the current recipe. Please enjoy.
@@ChefJackOvens thank you sir .
Can you use olive oil?
For the baked version, yes. For the Fried version, unfortunately not.
Im not sure that i understand the point of first soaking them in salt water to remove the starch, just to add starch again afterwards? Starch means more crispy, so why not skip the soaking step?
The natural starch within the sweet potatoes contains a lot of natural sugars which will burn before the potatoes are cooked and also make them soggy We remove that and add a new Starch which will help them crisp up.
So we soaked them to remove starch but then added starch again? I'm confused!
They’re natural starch will burn and become soggy. We remove that then add a new starch that will allow them to crisp 😊
🤣🤣🤣Did I just hear social distancing them, lol
Yep 😉😂
You put them in water to remove the starch, so that later you can add starch?
Sweet potatoes natural starch will burn and become soggy. We remove that and replace it with a starch that will crisp 😁
Hiya, can I substitute cornstarch with the plain flour as I don't have any at home? Thanks
Unfortunately not sorry. Plain flour will make these soggy. The cornstarch is designed to create a thin crisp skin.
@@ChefJackOvens thankyou for the reply 😄
Can I use normal potato instead of sweet potatoes?
If you were to use other potatoes, there will be a completely different method. Stay tuned, I will be posting another chip video very soon!
Just a stupid question, can I fry the sweet potatoes straight away without blanching them?
You can but they won’t crisp and will be really soggy
@@ChefJackOvens thanks chef!
Can anyone explain why you wash the starch off the potato and then add it back?
You wash off the original starch which will cause the potatoes to be soggy and burn and replace it with a starch that will crisp 😊
SP fries are a treat, a shame they're so difficult to digest !
I'm so sorry this is such a late reply, I'm trying my hardest to reply to everyone! Thats a shame that you have a hard time digesting them. They sure are tasty!
@@ChefJackOvens Not all comments require a reply handsome, but it sure is nice to read you.
Hold on, so you soak them to remove starch then you coat them in starch because sweet potatoes don't have enough? I'm confused with those statements.
The natural starch won’t crisp the potatoes so we remove that then add a starch that will allow them to crisp
I don't get why you rinse them to get rid of the starch but then you put corn starch to add starch again lol
Oh just saw your explanation on a comment :)
😊👌
If I want to put them in the fridge before frying should I just leave them wrapped in the towel or put in a container and cover?
You can leave them in the towel. Drying them out in the fridge also helps with crispness
@@ChefJackOvens thank you!
Fried every time, with probably anything lol
Haha!
👌
