Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. To begin, combine the oil, herbs, and garlic in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Heat the oil to 180°C (350°F), then use a slotted spoon to remove the herbs and garlic and transfer them to paper towels. At this point they should be nicely crispy. Set aside for serving..
  2. Using a vegetable peeler, slice the sweet potato into thin strips. Place in a large bowl of ice water to remove any remaining starch. Soak for a few minutes and rinse with fresh, cold water until the water runs clear. Drain the strips and pat dry with a kitchen towel to remove as much moisture as possible.

  3. Fry in oil preheated to 180°C (350°F), in small batches, until golden and crispy, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to paper cones in cups and sprinkle with Cajun seasoning. Peel the garlic cloves and sprinkle the julienne with garlic and the fried herbs.
