INGREDIENTS

GROUP A: FRIES

• 1 Japanese yam

• Salt

• Ground black pepper

• 2 tbsp olive oil

GROUP B: YOGURT

method

• Preheat the air fryer to 400F. Peel the yam completely. Slice lengthwise into long, 1/4” thick slivers. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add to the air fryer basket, ensuring that no fry overlaps another. Bake for 8 minutes. Take out the basket after 8 min, toss the fries around, flip them over to the other side, and bake for 8 - 9 minutes, till the edges are crisp and lightly browned.

• While the fries are cooking, mix the cream cheese and yogurt to form a thick dip. Drizzle with olive oil and sumac.

• Place the fries over the yogurt dip. Sprinkle a healthy dose of the gouda over the warm fries. Sprinkle the sumac, parsley and pom seeds. Chow away!
