Yam Fries and Chicken Fingers

recipe:

1 mega yam
salt
thyme
rosemary
parsley and sage optional (oh how I slave myself)
olive oil

Alright folks, what exactly is the big deal with yam fries? Are they actually more nutritious than just your standard potato fries, or am I only under that impression because they have more colour than the usual components of my typical meal?

All I can say about yam fries is that even though every time I eat one and question if I even enjoy the strange sweet starchy taste, I constantly crave another fry. Maybe its the salt, or the faint smell of rosemary and thyme!

Thyme- thats another annoying thing about yam fries. Why do they take so much time to make? All you have to do is slice the yam into wedges, throw them on a pan with olive oil, sprinkle on herbs and salt and toss them in the oven. Does the whole process really have to take all night?

Apparently in a poly pocket sized oven, it does.

Here's my question to you. Why were my yam fries soggy? Did I use to much olive oil or did I take them out of the oven too early? Even though the tips were turning black they tasted soft and olive- oily.

Anyway all in all these yam fries weren't a complete disaster. They tasted pretty nice with a mayo-sriracha dip I whipped up, and chicken fingers that I did not make by myself so you don't get to have a recipe for those. That's still to come!
