How to choose fresh sweet potatoes
- Prioritize sweet potatoes that are round, elongated, and uniform, without any constriction, feel heavy when held, and have a moderate firmness when pressed lightly.
- Good sweet potatoes have a reddish-purple skin, with a medium size, as larger ones tend to be fibrous and not as sweet.
- Sweet, fragrant, and fluffy sweet potatoes often have a layer of powder or dirt on the skin. Using a knife to cut a thin slice from the end of the potato will reveal a light orange color and sap.
- Avoid selecting sweet potatoes with black skin or many small holes, as these are signs that the sweet potatoes are spoiled and not healthy to eat.

Prepare sweet potatoes
After buying the sweet potatoes, use a peeler to clean the outer skin, wash the sweet potatoes to remove all the sap, then cut them into bite-sized pieces. After cutting, place the sweet potatoes in a bowl of diluted salt water (mixing 600ml of water : 2 teaspoons of salt) and soak for 30 minutes to prevent the sweet potatoes from turning dark.
Then, simply rinse them clean with water and let them drain.
How to peel sweet potatoes without turning dark
- Method 1: Immediately after peeling the sweet potatoes, soak them in diluted salt water mixed with a little lemon juice for 3 minutes, then remove and rinse with water.
- Method 2: Soak the sweet potatoes immediately after peeling in diluted salt water mixed with vinegar for about 5 minutes, then rinse with water.

Dusting and frying sweet potatoes
Place the drained sweet potatoes on a plate with 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, mix well until the flour evenly coats the sweet potatoes.
Next, place a pan on the stove, add 200ml of cooking oil to the pan, heat over medium heat for about 1 minute until the oil is hot. Drop each piece of sweet potato coated with flour into the oil.
Fry in hot oil for about 4 minutes until the sweet potatoes are evenly golden, turn off the heat, remove and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Shake sweet potatoes
Prepare a large bowl with a lid or in a large food container, then add the fried sweet potatoes that have drained the oil along with 3 spoons of plum salt.
