Ingredients
Scale
3 white sweet potatoes (2 – 2.5 lbs), peeled and chopped into bite size cubes
In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato cubes with the coconut oil and seasonings. Add salt to taste.
Spread the cubes out on the lined baking tray in a single layer: bake for 20 – 25 minutes, or until a fork can pierce a cube easily but firmly. The cubes should not be soft or mushy.
Remove the tray of potatoes from the oven and set aside on a cooling rack.
In a large skillet, heat your duck fat (or additional coconut oil) over medium heat. Not too hot that the fat smokes – on my stovetop this was a 4.5 / 10 setting.
Add the potato cubes to the pan. If you do not have a very large skillet, you will have to do two separate batches.
Spread the potatoes out in a single layer and fry for 5 – 8 minutes, tossing every minute or so to brown on all sides and be done to your desired level of crispiness
