Steps
Peel the sweet potato and potato.
First, cut them into round slices with a knife, and then cut them into thin sticks using a crinkle cutter.
The sweet potato was so hard that it took quite an effort.
If you slice them too thin, the sweet potato will break. Keep them at a moderate thickness (0.5 cm).
Quickly blanch the sliced sweet potato or potato in boiling water.
They cook very quickly, so blanching for just 1 to 2 minutes is enough.
Cool them in cold water and drain well.
Pat them dry again with a clean dish towel or paper towels.
Sprinkle a little sugar over the sweet potato, and sprinkle a little fine salt over the potato.
If you plan to dip the potato in ketchup, you do not need to add salt.
Toast them in a frying pan over very low heat until golden brown.
Even if it feels tedious, you need to flip them one by one. Do not just stir them around casually like making stir-fried potatoes.
The more you toast them, the crispier they get.
Baking in an oven works well, but I toasted them in a pan for those who do not have one.
Let the golden-toasted potato or sweet potato cool down.
