I tired this salt thing and it worked like magic. I didn't sprinkle it though, I out the salt in the water that I used to wash the yam. Awesome. Thanks for that lesson

[@carolm.mwanzia8688]

This video popped on my notification. I decided to click and watch. Now am hooked to your cooking all the way in kenya. Great job.

[@CamirrasKitchen]

I have never made yams before. my hubby is from ghana and I'm sure he would love it. I will have to try it! I have mastered a few ghanaian dishes but yam I have yet to explore!

[@KwankyewaasKitchen]

He will most likely like fried yam. We typically just boil it and have it with some stew or soup.

[@CamirrasKitchen]

@@KwankyewaasKitchen Thanks! I'll do it as a surprise one day. Im sure he hasn't had it in over a year

Great tips and the salt does help. Wow, that was a bargain price you paid. I estimated that it would cost about £70 or more for that amount of yams in the UK. 😊

[@baumi8125]

Oh wow that's so expensive - that's like £14 per large yam. I never knew yams were so expensive - I guess cause I compare them to potatoes as another starchy vegetable and they're super cheap

What!!! Where do you buy your yams from..... please don't ever go back to that shop. 😫 BTW I'm also in UK and can't ever pay that price.
