It sounds strange. It sounds really strange. Trust us on this one. They’re almost exactly like spicy sweet potato fries. Background story on this new favorite: Peter Pan, Wendy, Kaiser and a couple of other friends were hanging out, smoking weed, drinking beer and wine, and indulging in a little bit of DXM. Wendy decided to “dick around in the kitchen” and found a can of sweet yams in syrup left over from Thanksgiving. Some divine light shone down on a bottle of hot sauce and a bag of flour, and it was all uphill from there. These make a pretty fantastic appetizer or side dish, or they work well for curing the munchies. Careful though, they’re hot!
You’ll need:
- A can of cut yams in syrup
- About half a cup of Tabasco sauce, or any good red hot sauce
- About half a cup to a cup of flour
- 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1/2 tablespoon Cayenne pepper
- 1/2 tablespoon black pepper
- 1/2 tablespoon onion powder
- 1/2 tablespoon cumin
- Oil for frying
Let the oil get hot first. I set the over to about medium high. Mix the spices in with the flour, and pour the mixture into a bowl. You’ll also want to pour the hot sauce into a bowl. Roll each piece of yam in the hot sauce, then the flour mixture. I pressed the flour against the yams to make sure the breading was nice and thick. Drop into the oil and let them fry until the outside is golden brown and crispy. Remove them from the oil and let them drain and cool for a minute or two on a paper towel. If you like, serve them with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
