Thai Inspired Sweet Potato Fries Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Combine oil, garlic, chili paste and soy sauce in a bowl. Add sweet potatoes and toss to coat.
• Spread single layer on baking sheet.
• Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, string once or twice to prevent burning and allow even cooking.

Steps:

• Cut washed, unpeeled potatoes into french-fry shaped pieces.
• Mix together peanut oil, lime juice, fish sauce, peanut butter, salt, pepper, garlic, cayenne, coriander powder, cumin, and onion powder in a large ziplock bag or mixing bowl.
• Add cut potatoes and mix around, making sure potatoes are evenly coated.
• Allow to marinate in this mixture for 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Line baking sheet with aluminum foil (this makes for easy clean-up later!); pour small amount of vegetable oil on foil and wipe around with paper towel.
• Spread potatoes in single layer on foil, without potatoes touching, if you can.
• Bake for 40-45 minutes, turning potatoes once or twice during cooking.

Steps:

• Two to three hours in advance, combine the water, salt, sugar, soy sauce, peppercorns, ginger, anise, and bay leaves in a cooler large enough to hold the turkey and stir to mix. Taste the brine, it should taste like sweet ocean water. Adjust salt and or turkey to taste. Add the turkey, if it is not covered, add more water and adjust seasoning accordingly. Fill the cooler with ice packs and cover.
• Fry in 375 degree F oil until cooked through 10 to 12 minutes depending on piece. Remove the turkey and season with the same chile salt used for the fries.
• Note: If you would like to do some of the cooking in advance, heat oil to 345 degrees F and blanch the turkey for 10 minutes. Later when ready to serve, heat the oil to 375 degrees F and finish cooking until a meat thermometer registers 170 and the skin is crisp and golden.
• Plating: Arrange the turkey in the center of the plate, stick spears out of the turkey with the cranberry syrup in a small separate bowl. Sprinkle with chile salt, garnish with fried sage leaves. Dip in cranberry syrup, and enjoy.
• Serve the turkey, if desired, with sweet potato fries and garnish with sage leaves that have been fried at 375 degrees F for 1minute until crisp and translucent, not brown.
• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, sweat the onions and the ginger until the onions are translucent. Add the cranberries, orange zest/juice, vinegar, cranberry juice, and sugar and simmer until reduced by about 25 percent. The mixture should coat a spoon. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Keep the chunky sauce in the refrigerator until ready to use.
• Cut the sweet potatoes into spears and place in the prepared fryer for 10 minutes until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with the chile salt.
• Note: as with the turkey, the fries can be blanched in 345 degree F oil ahead of time until just tender, but not brown, and refried in 375 degree F oil until crisp and golden.
