How to make chips from yam
YAM CHIPS RECIPE
Ingredients:
- Yam
- Olive oil or high oleic sunflower oil
- Salt
Preparation:
- Wash and peel the yams.
- Cut them into hives 1cm thick..
- In a pan, put the oil to heat.
- When the oil is hot, toss the yams. We must prevent the oil starts to smoke, as this indicates that is deteriorating.
- Prepare a plate with paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Serve as a starter or accompaniment.
- They can also be prepared as fried chips. So that they are “inflated”, the secret is to cut very thin slices and dip them in ice water. Drain well before frying and put them into the boiling oil, being careful not to splash.
