Step 1

In a large pot, heat 3 inches of vegetable oil to 350°. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the nori flakes with the shichimi togarashi, salt and pepper. In another small bowl, mix the mayonnaise with the sambal oelek and lime juice.

Step 2

Working in batches, fry the sweet potato sticks until they are tender and golden, about 7 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the sweet potato fries to paper towel-lined plates to drain. Generously sprinkle the hot fries with the nori- togarashi mixture and serve immediately with the spicy mayonnaise on the side.
