Prepare the sweet potatoes
First, take 2 sweet potatoes you bought and use a peeler to peel the skin, wash them thoroughly, and let them drain, then use a knife to slice them thinly.
At the same time, place all the cut sweet potatoes into a bowl of cold water mixed with 2 teaspoons of tapioca flour and 2 teaspoons of salt for about 10 minutes.
Finally, drain the water, rinse the sweet potatoes a few times with clean water, and let them drain.

Once you have prepared the sweet potatoes, place a pot on the stove with 300ml of cooking oil and heat on high. When the oil is hot, gradually add the drained sweet potatoes and fry for about 5 – 7 minutes.
When you see that the sweet potatoes are evenly golden on both sides, remove them onto a plate to drain the oil. Continue to do this until all the sweet potatoes are used up!

How to choose fresh and delicious sweet potatoes
- You should choose sweet potatoes that have a smooth exterior, without cracks or bruises. They should feel firm, heavy, and not be squished.
- Select sweet potatoes that are round or elongated in shape, without any narrow or hollow spots. When pressed, they should not feel too hard; these types usually have less fiber, more starch, and taste very sweet.
- Do not choose potatoes with black spots or blemishes, as this indicates that the potatoes are spoiled. Also, avoid very small potatoes that are narrow and hollow, as these tend to contain a lot of fiber and will not taste good.
