Equipment

Ingredients

½ yam (medium-sized)
Sunflower oil (enough to deep-fry)
½ tsp salt (salt to taste)

Instructions

Prepare the yams.
Peel off the skin by mounting it on the chopping board. Divide it into two. Continue slicing the yam until you have your preferred shape (diagonal or oblong) and size (thick or thin).
Then, place them in a bowl of water to rinse and drain. Season it with sea salt.
Deep fry the yams.
Place a pot or pan on medium heat and pour about two cups of oil. Lower the yam into the hot oil and leave to fry for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, turn the yams to the other side to deep fry for 5 minutes or until fried.
Once slightly brown, remove them from heat. Allow to cool and savor the goodness!
