Note: As with anything deep-fried, you have a window of optimal crispiness before the crust starts to cool and get soggy. If you’re feeding a family, you may want to start serving the tacos before you have finished frying all of the sweet potato spears. Alternatively, you can put them on a wire rack in a warm (250°F [120°C]) oven to help maintain some of their crispiness for a bit longer, but it’s best to eat them right away.
