Dundu (Fried Yam Slices)
Dundu is a simple yet satisfying snack made from fried yam slices. This naturally dairy-free treat is crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
Ingredients
- 1 medium Yam
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Cayenne pepper
Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1Carefully peel the 1 medium yam. Using a sharp knife, slice the peeled yam into pieces that are approximately 0.635 cm (0.6 cm) thick, either as rounds or strips.
- 2Pour the 2 cups of vegetable oil into a deep frying pan or a large heavy-bottomed pot. Place the pan or pot over medium-high heat and heat the oil until it reaches approximately 176.7-190.6°C (175-190°C).
- 3Carefully add a single layer of the yam slices to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the yam slices for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until they are visibly golden brown and crispy.
- 4Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the fried yam slices from the oil. Transfer them immediately to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- 5Repeat steps 3 and 4 with the remaining yam slices, frying them in batches until all the yam is cooked and drained.
- 6While the yam slices are still warm, sprinkle them evenly with the 1/2 teaspoon of salt and the 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper.
- 7Serve the dundu warm immediately after seasoning.
