Spicy SWEET POTATO Wedges

THE RECIPE

So it is another tapa, but who doesn't just love tapas, I do. However this is made with sweet potato which has a natural sweetness, the result is a much more interesting flavor contrast than you get with regular white potatoes. So go ahead and give these a try! 

INGREDIENTS:
                       
1 large Sweet potato, peeled and cut into wedges
3 tsp Paprika
1 tsp Ground cumin
1/2 tsp Cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp Salt
Vegetable Oil for deep frying
Sprigs of Flat-leaf parsley to garnish 

METHOD:

Cut the sweet potato into thick wedges, parboil in a pan of boiling water for 5 minutes, then drain. 

Put the paprika, cumin, cayenne pepper and salt into a bowl and mix well together. Set aside

Preheat a deep saucepan 2/3 filled with frying oil to 160°C, cook the wedges for 5-6 minutes and drain on kitchen paper. Increase temperature of the oil to 180°C and return the wedges until crisp. Remove and drain on kitchen paper.

Transfer the potato wedges to a large bowl and while still hot, sprinkle with the paprika mixture, then gently toss them together to coat.

TO SERVE:

Serve hot in a warmed serving dish, garnished with parsley sprigs. Enjoy......
