Swet Potatoe Fries + Chipotle Ranch!

Sweet Potatoe Fries:

Heat the safflower/peanut oil to 320 degrees in a dutch oven or a deep fryer (which ever you have).

Using a V-slicer with a wide blade, slice the sweet potatoes with the skin on. Place in a large bowl with cold water.

Drain sweet potatoes thoroughly, removing any excess water. When oil reaches 320 degrees, submerge the potatoes in the oil. Working in small batches, fry for 2 to 3 minutes until they are pale and floppy. Remove from oil, drain, and cool to room temperature.

Increase the temperature of the oil to 375 degrees. Re-immerse fries and cook until crisp and golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove and drain on roasting rack. Season with kosher salt while hot and hold in a 200 degree oven or eat right away.
