Thick Cut Yam Fries

Servings: 2 | Serving size: about 1 1/2 cups fries

Cooking Time: 30 Minutes

This recipe can easily be multiplied but does not make very good leftovers.

Ingredients

• 2 small yams (about 5 ounces each)
• 2 quarts ice water
• 1/4 tsp salt
• fresh ground black pepper to taste
• 1/8 tsp dried thyme leaves
• spray olive oil

Scrub the yams well and then cut into wedges.  It's easiest to cut them in half lengthwise and then quarters and then eighths. 

Place the cut yams in the ice water for 20 minutes

Place a large skillet in the oven and set the preheat to 325°F.

When the oven is hot spray the pan lightly with oil. 

Remove the yams from the ice water and pat dry.

Add the yam wedges to the hot pan and sprinkle the salt, pepper and thyme over the top. 

Spray lightly with olive oil. 

Return the pan to the oven and cook for about 25 minutes tossing frequently. 

Serve hot.
