I want some sweet potato fries like woah. I've been craving them since the beginning of October.
Does anyone happen to know where I could find sweet potato fries?
I've given up hope of finding any, and started looking for recipes to make some on my own.
I've never actually made sweet potato fries before, but this recipe looks delicious, and easy. I don't think I have any ground fennel on hand though...
This recipe for cumin sweet potato fries also looks realllly good.
Korean sweet potatoes are a little different from American sweet potatoes.
What Americans think of as a sweet potato.
Korean sweet potatoes.
Notice the color difference? The texture is a little different as well.
I'm wondering if the difference is big enough to create a problem when making fries... I managed to make sweet potato casserole last year easily enough.
Has anyone tried making sweet potato fries using korean sweet potatoes, or goguma (고구마)? I'd love some advice. :)

ReplyDeleteIf that's not clear enough - try searching for "sweet potato fries" on google images. Or click on the recipes for pictures of their finished products.
Therese - Looks like fun! Thanks for referencing those recipes. I've wanted to try making mat tang.

I'd love it if you could track down that recipe for me. ^.^
Therese, I saw your post on the show. I don't think it was really a test of your culinary might. If it was, then I'm sure you would have cleaned up.^^
ReplyDeletethank you
ReplyDeleteto be true they gave us a million won but thats a whole other story
I make sweet potato fries all the time, more so when they are in season. However, I don't have a special recipe.
ReplyDeleteI like to slice them thin (around 1/8 inch), fry them in corn oil (when I'm feeling bad) or grade seed oil (when I'm feeling good), sprinkle a little salt on them, and eat them with mayo/ketchup/mustard depending on what I have around.
I good alternative would be dipping them in a nice honey sauce or even doing a honey glaze. Desert fries. Yum, yum. I'll have to try that.
I've also made sweet potato casserole and pie with Korean sweet potatoes and they both turned out really good. It tastes a little starchier to me, though. Requires more milk/cream/egg/etc.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment.
I actually did a sweet potato casserole using korean sweet potatoes for my demo lesson last year. I was teaching about Thanksgiving and wanted to focus on an ingredient that both Korean and American cultures enjoyed in the autumn (in a slightly different way).
It was a huge hit. =D
Sounds like Korean sweet potatoes will be suitable for making fries. I'll let everyone know how it turns out. :)
Oven baked sweet potato fries are amazing and easy to make if you have a toaster oven! Just cut the sweet potato into wedges, spead them out on a pan, add a generous coating of olive oil and a VERY generous sprinkle of Montreal Steak Spice (Korean equivalent: the seaseoned salts sold in grocery stores for dipping galbi and samgyupsal). Bake for 20-30 minutes and dip in a roasted garlic mayo. It's very very yummy.
