When an influencer told us she found the perfect homemade french fry recipe, we were skeptical. Really 🤔, the BEST?
What's the secret? Japanese Sweet Potatoes (yes, the purple ones!)
The combination of these type of potatoes and raw, unrefined coconut oil work perfectly together to crisp the outer layer, while slow roasting a soft potato filling. Also, coconut oil can withstand high-heat, so it works beautifully to draw out the starches from the potato to slightly caramelize.
With a touch of salt and -- boom! Perfection!
Japanese sweet potatoes are called Satsumaimo. With distinct purple-ish or reddish color skin, inside the sweet potatoes are creamy white flesh that turns yellow after cooking.
Japanese sweet potatoes have a much sweeter taste than ordinary sweet potato varieties found in the US. They have a nutty flavor reminiscent of roasted chestnuts. The texture is drier, firmer, and starchier, and its concentrated sweetness makes them an ideal ingredient for making desserts.
It’s known knowledge that all sweet potatoes are good for you. High in complex carbohydrates and dietary fiber, they provide a good source of energy. This is why they are particularly enjoyed by farmers and hard labor workers in Japan. They are also a great source of vitamins (especially vitamin A), minerals, potassium, iron, and copper. Best of all they contain all the essential amino acids that our bodies need.
