Sweet Potato Fries
Up until now, sweet
potato meant the cubed Shakarkandi that vendors sell. Isn’t it? But now
that a major fry-revolution has hit the world, Pakistanis have finally figured
out a better use of the vegetable. No offense, Shakarkandi lovers. But it’s
about time – We seriously need to explore the potential of the vegetable.
First, there’s one
thing you need to know; Whether baked or deep-fried, these fries will never
disappoint you. Trust me.
The only difference between the two versions (if ever) is of crispiness. At times, the baked version might not be as crispy as the fried ones. And that’s something fry-enthusiasts do not often appreciate. But remember, only the very thick ones (resembling wedges) possess that unacceptable softness. The best thing about these fries is the fact that they offer a tinge of sweetness, that regular fries do not. When sprinkled with spicy seasonings, they offer an irresistible contrast of flavors! Even more, when consumed with peel, they are highly nutritious. That’s because it provides massive amounts of high dietary fiber and Vitamin A content. Lots of new fries shops are currently offering them in Pakistan but if you don’t find one, here’s how to make it at home.

food places offering it in Pakistan.
