Ingredients:

For Yam Chips:

Leky Mills frozen yam chips (available in most stores)
Vegetable oil for frying
Salt to taste


For Pepper Sauce:

6-8 hot peppers (adjust according to your spice preference)
2 cloves of garlic
1 small onion
1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
1 teaspoon of vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:

Prepare the Pepper Sauce:

Wash and chop the hot peppers, garlic, and onion.
Heat the vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat.
Sauté the chopped garlic and onion until they become fragrant and translucent.
Add the chopped hot peppers and cook for a few minutes until they soften.
Remove the pan from heat and let the mixture cool.
Transfer the cooled mixture to a blender, add vinegar, salt, and pepper, and blend until smooth. Adjust the spice level to your liking by adding more or fewer hot peppers.


Prepare the Yam Chips:

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large, deep skillet to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully add the Leky Mills frozen yam chips to the hot oil, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Fry in batches if necessary.
Fry the chips for about 4-6 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and drain on paper towels.
While the chips are still hot, season them with a pinch of salt to enhance their flavour.
