Yam with Herby Sauce

Mix the mayonnaise with garlic and let it sit at room temperature until serving time

Prepare the yams: Place them in a pot with enough water to cover them and add salt

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes

Remove from heat, cover, and let it rest for 15 minutes or until the yams are almost tender

Drain and dry completely with paper towels (make sure they're well dried before frying)

Heat the vegetable oil to about 2 cm deep, then fry the yams in two batches until they're golden brown and crispy

Drain on paper towels

Serve the yams with toothpicks and place the herby sauce in a small bowl at the corner of the platter

Portion into 15 yam pieces and 90 tablespoons (of mayonnaise) for the sauce.
