These fries are one of the most popular dishes at London’s famed Cabana restaurant. The sweet potatoes turn a wonderful bright orange when fried, and are complemented by the deep red paprika, which adds a subtle spice. However, for this recipe we bake them in the oven to keep them healthy.
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 500g sweet potatoes
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- sea salt
Method
Preheat oven to 230°C. Cut the potatoes lengthways into one cm-thick chips.
Spread the chips out on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, turning once, until browned and tender.
While the chips are hot, sprinkle with a little smoked paprika and sea salt. Transfer to one large or individual warmed bowls and serve immediately.
