Notes
You can fry instead, simply;
Fill a deep, heavy-bottomed pot or a deep fryer with vegetable oil. You'll need enough oil to submerge the taro fries completely.
Carefully place a batch of taro fries into the hot oil using a slotted spoon or frying basket. Do not overcrowd the pot; fry in batches if necessary.
Fry the taro fries for about 3-5 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
This gives a crispy and crunchy taste.
