So go ahead. Defy the cooking myths. Buy a bottle of good EVOO, heat it to 350°F, and drop in some sweet potato fries. You’ll get a crunch that’s lighter, more flavorful, and a little healthier than the usual stuff.
Will it cost you a buck or two more per batch? Yes. But consider it an investment in joy. Life is too short for boring oil. You deserve to have your fries taste like a vacation in Tuscany, even if you’re just standing in your kitchen in sweatpants.
Here’s to you, brave fryer—daring to dip your potatoes into liquid gold. May your crust be crisp, your oil never smoke, and your leftover EVOO find a happy second life in a salad dressing. Fry on, you beautiful rebel.
