Fried Yam and Spicy Mayo

I have been craving fried yam since January and hounding the African store in Oakland about their next batch of supplies. They finally got some last week and i raced to their store on saturday to get some. I have thought of a few things I could make with yam and trust me a few recipes will come to you shortly but I just had this very lazy appetizer recipe and decided to post it. It’s something very very very simple and quick to make and when you have guests, instead of giving them the regular, you can spice it up with fried yam and spicy mayo. Here is my simple appetizer for the week.

Recipe for Fried Yam and Spicy Mayo

Ingredients

4 slices of yam

1 tablespoon hot sauce

1 tablespoon mayonnaise

a pinch of salt

Method

Peel, rinse and slice your yam and set aside.

In a pot of boiling water, place your sliced yam to cook for about 2-3 minutes.

Strain in a sieve with paper towel to remove excess water and sprinkle your salt.

Heat up your oil and deep fry your yam till golden brown.

For the spicy mayo, mix the hot sauce and mayonnaise till both are completely blended and serve with the fried yam.
