Homemade Yam Fries

It’s a Tuesday night and Marv is stuck on his own since I’m off baking with Belinda.  So what does he decide to do??  Make YAM FRIES… he knows I love fries…and yams 🙁   He did this on purpose!   >_<    Below is a post by Marv about his yam fries(in which was not shared with me!)

So I’m all by myself and bored. Watching tv with my family when all of the sudden I realize that my dad hasn’t been back from the kitchen in a while and I can smell something yummy. Sure enough I got up to check and yes, he was making hotdogs!

I got inspired.  Looking around the kitchen I spot this single, lonely yam next to our onion basket and I was like

“hmmmmm, YAM FRIES!!!”

Not being too creative or messy I made a simple coating to go with the yams and a quick dipping sauce as requested by my sister (who ate while we were cooking)

Yam:

Peel yam and cut into thick matchstick pieces.

Place in bowl and coat with flour mixture.

Flour mixture:

All purpose flour

Ancho chilli pepper

Cayenne pepper

Salt

Mix all ingredients together and make sure the yams get fully coated.

In small batches, deep fry the yams to achieve a good crispy crust and to ensure its fully cooked I left it in the deep fryer for about 6-7mins

Sauce:

Ancho chilli pepper

Jap mayo

Mix well! add salt if needed.

Enjoy

So I got bored and made this hotdog and yam fries sandwich! It was yummy!
