If you’re going to make homemade ketchup, then you must also make a homemade something to dip in said ketchup.  Like curly fries.  White sweet potato curly fries.

I was drawn to the palest sweet potatoes in the stack {labeled Japanese sweet potatoes}, assuming they’d be less sweet than the typical orange variety.  A little Google research validated the less-sweet hunch, but left me confused on what variety of sweet potato I picked up from the stack.  Although Japanese sweet potatoes have a white flesh, their skin is super purple.  A Japanese sweet potato, my potato was not.

Another mission was to make a crispier fry than I had made in the past.  I used this recipe {that called for eggs whites in lieu of corn starch} and a crispier fry is exactly what I got.  And although the spiralized slightly sweet potato fry was delish, it was a bit too time consuming for me.  I’ll likely stick to the traditionally shaped fry in the future.
