Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs sweet potato Chopped in bite size
  • 1 cup cooking oil
  • 1 cup brown sugar

Instructions
 

  • Start by peeling a sweet potato and cut it into small, bite-sized pieces.
  • Heat some oil in a pan over a medium setting until it reaches a gentle 250°F.
  • Carefully add your sweet potato pieces to the pan, then slowly increase the temperature until the oil is hot but not smoking, ideally between 350°F and 375°F.
  • Fry the pieces until they turn a delicious golden brown, flipping them occasionally for an even cook.
  • Once browned, sprinkle the pieces with brown sugar and keep frying, mixing them around until the sugar has turned into a yummy caramel coating.
  • Your sweet potato bites are ready when the caramelized sugar has set. Take the pan off the heat and allow the bites to cool a bit. Serve them up on their own, or skewer them for a fun presentation. Enjoy your homemade treat!
