Sweet Potato Fries

고구마전[Go-Gu-Ma-Jeon]

One of my ex-coworkers used to say her favorite vegetable and the only vegetable she eats is French Fries. I thought that was funny when she said it considering how health conscious people are these days. But then I realized I am not much different from her. Sweet potatoes are my favorite vegetable, I have to say.

I like the Asian kind, which is white inside and sweeter than yams or American sweet potatoes that are yellow inside. The best way to enjoy (the Asian kind) sweet potatoes, I think, is just to bake them in the oven, and the next best way is to slice and fry them like above.


For 2 servings:

sweet potato (1)
egg (1)
flour (1/2 cup)
salt


1.
Cut a sweet potato into thin slices.

2.
Lightly coat each slice with flour.

3.
Next coat with egg with added salt.

4.
Fry on high heat for the first 3 minutes.

5.
Change to medium heat and continue frying until it gets soft and turns golden brown.
