Thank you. I was trying a variation from Cooks Illustrated magazine's
web site. The preliminary cooking is done in a microwave rather than
frying at a lower temperature, then they are supposed to be fried to
crisp them up at a higher temperature. I think I had several problems
and I'm going to try some alternatives, next time. I'm sure part of my
problem is unfamiliarity of what I can do with this particular fryer and
what I can't. I have a lot to learn about frying with it.

I appreciate the information...

Regards...

Tom

I've still got to try double frying Yam fries. :-)

It has a lighter taste than soy sauce but is still pleasantly rich. :-)

If that makes any sense?

Cheers!
