I've attached a pic of Yam..

Note:

The Same recipe can be repeated for Potato, Elephant Yam..also

Just make sure the yam stays in the cooker for just 1 whistle..

If u have any leftover unfried yam..just leave them in the fridge..and it can be fried the next day for a even more crispier and tastier snack...
