Ingredients
  

  • 3 yams scrubbed and thinly sliced
  • olive oil a generous amount
  • salt of your choosing

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Wash the yam skins thoroughly, leaving the skins on.
  3. Cut off both ends of each yam and thinly slice them with a mandoline or a sharp knife.
  4. Working in small batches, place the slices in a bowl and coat generously with olive oil.
  5. Arrange the slices in a single layer on a parchment lined cookie sheet and sprinkle with salt.
  6. Bake for about 20 minutes, until tender and golden at the edges.
  7. Serve warm or cold.

Notes

Yam chips will not get quite as crispy as potato chips, but they get close. They taste best slightly warm.
