Directions

1) Heat a good amount of oil on a skillet or better yet use a deep fryer. A good amount = enough oil to cover both sides of the sliced yams.
2) Drop some yams in the hot oil and let it change color. Add some jalapenos a little later while you are at it.
3) Drain and blot the yams from the skillet/deep fryer onto a plate with absorbent paper.
4) Sprinkle salt and enjoy
* for crispier yams, try using a toaster oven to toast the yam crisps.
