yam fries

Orange root fries

Yam fries are strips of yam or sweet potato cut into the shape of French fries, then baked or fried.

They appear on restaurant menus as a healthier or more interesting alternative to regular fries: I'll have the burger with yam fries instead.

The term often applies to orange-fleshed sweet potatoes rather than true yams.
