Photo: Maple Sugar Sweet Potato Fries Recipe
Ingredients
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 1/4 cup maple sugar
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon mild yellow curry
- 2 large sweet potatoes or yams, skin-on
- 1 tablespoon minced green onion, to garnish
Directions
In a deep-fryer or heavy-bottomed pot, heat enough vegetable oil to come halfway up the sides of the pot, to 350 degrees F.
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple sugar, black pepper, salt, and yellow curry. Reserve.
Scrub the sweet potatoes clean. Cut in half and then into 12-inch thick wedges. When oil is hot, reduce heat to medium-high and carefully put half of the wedges in the oil. Cook turning occasionally to brown on all sides, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove to a paper towel lined colander to drain. Sprinkle the fries with some of the reserved spice mixture. Cover with another paper towel to keep warm. Repeat with remaining wedges.
Transfer the wedges to a serving bowl and garnish with green onions.

4 stars for the food minus 1 for the typos. Yes the typos are important to the rating as it makes the measurements inaccurate. I assumed the 14 cup maple sugar was more reasonably 1/4 cup but the ingredient list has no pepper listed thus no amount either so I had yo really guess..,made it equal to the salt. I think it was a little much/ was a bit too spicy/would like more sweetness to come through.

First let me say that if you're criticizing the typos in the recipe I don't think it's fair to give the recipe a 1 or 2 star review because it's not the fault of the chef. Better to address those issues by an e-mail to Food Network.
Second, this was fantastic. Like others, I had to use brown sugar although next time (and there will definitely be a next time I plan on using maple SYRUP instead. To save calories, I baked instead of deep fried (25 to 30 minutes at 400 degrees turning halfway. Some of the excess brown sugar that came off the fries did burn but was easily removed.
