Here are 9 Steps To Achieve This Yamarita Recipe
- Peel the Yam into several pieces, preferably rectangular shapes about 1 inch wide and 1/2 inch thick, then rinse and drain.

- Use a fork to check if it’s soft and ok. Then you drop it.
- Drain off the water from the Yam and set it aside to cool.
- Break the two eggs into a bowl and add the Seasoning, Salt, and cayenne pepper to taste; whisk together and set aside.

- After frying, you can arrange it on a paper towel to remove excess oil
