Fried Yam

Fried Yam: a homemade version with weighed ingredients and detailed preparation.

Ingredients

• 800 g peeled edible yam
• 2000 ml water
• 1000 ml frying oil for deep frying
• 3 g salt

Preparation

Cut the identified edible yam into regular thick sticks. Cook them in boiling water for about 15 minutes, until they are fully cooked but still hold their shape.

Drain carefully, then dry the surface to avoid splattering.

Heat the frying oil bath to 170 °C in a suitable container, filling it no more than halfway. Fry the pieces in small batches for 4 to 6 minutes until golden brown.

Drain on a rack, sprinkle with salt, and serve. The volume of the bath is not the amount of oil consumed.
