Ingrediants

Sweet potatoes cut into chip size long strips
Olive oil but you can use any you prefer
1 dessert spoon of cornflour 

Needed

A plastic freezer bag
Bowl of water
Clean tea towel
Large Oven tray

Slice your sweet potato, I had large size potato.

1. Sart by peeling your sweet potatoes or giving them a good scrub if you are leaving the skins on.
2. Chop the into long chip/fries type shapes.
 
The right size

3. Leave to soak in water for at least one hour to help remove the starch.

An hour minimum soaking
4. Put your sweet potatoes in a tea towel to dry, rubbing them lightly.
5. Get your bag add the cornstarch and jiggle the bag until the sweet potato shards are covered in cornflour.

6. Place on a baking tray with a glug of oil and toss the sweet potatoes until well coated. When you are placing the potatoes leave space between them and dont crowd the pan!

ready for the oven
7. Cook at 425/220 for around 15 to 20 mins. I personally turned my sweet potatoes twice during the cooking time. They will crisp up and be so delicious when ready.
