Directions to make Spicy Sweet Potato Sticks
Step 1:Pare the sweet potatoes and cut into short sticks about 1/4\” thick (if you have a food processor with a disk designed for french fries, use that). Heat the oil and butter in a wok or skillet over medium-high heat; don\’t let the fat brown
Step 2:Add the potato sticks and toss to coat; season with salt, white pepper, about 1/4 ts each of ginger, cardamom, and a small pinch of cloves. Add 1/2 cup water, adjust the heat to medium-low, and cook, tossing often, but gently, for about 5 minutes, adding drops of water if needed to prevent sticking.
Step 3:Add the honey and continue to toss-cook until the sticks are just tender and nicely glazed, perhaps 3 minutes. Check the seasonings and serve promptly.
