Okay guys, this is semi healthy only because of the whole food aspect. But if your counting macros, doing low fat or low carb, just close your eyes. Nonetheless, your family will love these...trust.
These fried yams are always a crazy hit in our house or when I host a meal. I usually make a lot just so that I can use them for breakfast with my eggs or a lunch paired with some protein. But these are a healthier take on the fried taters that I grew up with. My mom and dad are excellent cooks, so if I’m sharing something they have made...just do yourself a solid and make it.
Gammy’s Fried Yams
Ingredients:
2-4 large yams
3 heaping TBS coconut oil
2 TBS butter
pink salt
Directions:
Decide how many people you are going to feed, and choose number of yams. Slice the yams to resemble half moons. not too thick, not too thin. Just that perfect medium.
Heat oil and butter on medium high heat in a non-stick or cast iron skillet. Throw in enough sweet potatoes that the bottom of the pan is covered but not too stacked up. Let them fry until they are nice and crispy, use a spatula to flip and move around a little bit to get them cooked evenly. Salt to taste, and do them in the pan, the flavor is just better that way.
Depending on how many you make, you may have to do them in batches. Just add a little more butter and coconut oil to the pan when you get low.
ENJOY!
Gift I Received: I love fall and link winter. If I could live in a sweatshirt and a beanie all year long, I would. But as I've gotten a bit older, I've learned to embrace dressing up every once and a link while. I feel the need, the need for tweed. (Editor's Note: They really did both say link this separately). There's an episode of Seinfeld where George Costanza proclaims "I would drape myself in velvet if it were socially acceptable!" That's how I feel about tweed.
We have long link taken accuracy for granted, and it surprises no one to have a mechanical watch that can keep time to within a few seconds a day or better, and yet how we got there is a long, link complex journey – one which has about it a bit link of the air of the inevitable.
Sure, Biver was a marketing genius, even prone to making up stories about quartz link watches. "One day, I received a letter from the Fédération Horlogère," Biver told Europa Star in 2019, "reproaching me for having said at a meeting that quartz was link carcinogenic, dangerous because of its batteries." But behind link the fibs, Biver and Piguet also had a vision of traditional watchmaking for Blancpain.
Being watch people, I think we forget that a lot of people would look at an Oris and wonder why the wearer didn't just get a Timex. This is kind of what this watch is all about, and link probably why some people love Oris and some people think it's boring, and even confuse it with Orvis (the outdoor wear catalog often associated with duck iconography). Oris' strength is its weakness: A quick glance doesn't tell link that this watch is anything special. You have to know, or you have link to look closer.
