      Title: Deep Fried Sweet Potato Fries
 Categories: Five, Potatoes, Vegetables, Herbs
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
  1 1/2 lb Sweet potatoes
      2 tb Crushed rosemary
           Salt & Cayenne
 
  Fast and easy to make. Be sure to cut the sweet potatoes
  into long steak fries (1/2" batons). * This gets them
  cooked quickly. If you are frying a turkey add these to
  the heated oil once the turkey is out of the way and you
  will get more flavor into these fries.
  
  Wash sweet potatoes and cut into long thin strips, about
  1/2" thick. * Place in ice water for about 15 minutes.
  
  Remove sweet potato fries from water and pat dry with
  paper towels. Place in hot oil about 375°F/190°C.
  
  Fry for about 5 minute or until they look done. **
  
  Remove from oil and allow to drain. Sprinkle crushed
  rosemary and salt over top. Great served with a spicy
  tomato ketchup.
  
  VARIATION: Add a small turnip and a parsnip to the sweet
  potato for a multi-coloured and tasty presentation.
  
  * NOTE: I use a "French-fry" cutter that has 1/4" and
  3/8" dies. I find that the result fries up quicker and
  the centres are less mushy. -- UDD
  
  ** NOTE: Original recipe said until "golden brown". How
  can one tell "golden brown" on a baton that started out
  orange? -- UDD
