Scrape the skin of the sweet potatoes, removing imperfect layers but not completely peeling them.

Slice the sweet potatoes into pieces the size of a matchbox, ensuring they are not too thick to fry properly.

Heat corn oil in a frying pan until hot.

Fry the sweet potato slices in the hot oil until they are cooked, similar to frying potatoes or french fries.

In a separate process, melt brown sugar in a pan over high heat until it turns into a caramel color and has a lava-like viscosity.

Add the fried sweet potatoes to the molten sugar one by one, ensuring they are coated with the caramelized sugar.

Stir the sweet potatoes in the molten sugar to ensure even coating, being careful as the sugar is very hot and sticky.

Allow the caramelized sweet potatoes to cool slightly to solidify the sugar coating before serving.
