Fried Yams

Step 1

Peel and cut the yam tuber into 1 inch cylindrical discs. Make several cuts across the discs to get large chips. Wash the yam chips and place in a bowl.

Step 2

Add a little salt and toss the contents to distribute the salt. Set aside for 20 minutes.

Step 3

Fry the yam at 350°F.

Step 4

When the oil is heated, add a few yam chips, leaving enough room for flipping the chips.

Step 5

Stir the chips till they have turned golden.

Step 6

Remove the chips and place in the paper towels to absorb the oil.
