Peel and dice yam into desired shapes. Put water on fire, add salt and sugar (that will be enough to taste) and cook till almost soft.

Drain set aside, at this point you can taste to see if the sugar is enough. If not dissolve sugar in little water and mix yam in it.

Put vegetable oil in pan and allow to get hot, pour yam and fry till golden brown. It can be served with stew, egg sauce, vegetable, omellete or eaten alone.
