Does Cosco in Korea carry yam fries? Or do any other stores carry them?

[Hardy Boy]

yam fries? whatever that is, it sure doesn't sound good

[machellebelle]

most people call them sweet potato fries. never saw them there, but with the abundance of sweet potatoes, they wouldn't be hard to make yourself

You can make them easily yourself, and they'll be a heck of a lot healthier without all of the chemicals added.

I mean artificial chemicals. Preservatives that aren't lemon or pineapple juice. The nasty stuff that our grandparents never dreamed of ingesting.

I wish I had been able to pack my dehydrator... I miss my non-oil-coated banana chips.

고구마스틱 - sweet potato sticks. They look like french fries but they are eaten cold as a snack food. They are very crunchy. These are also sold on the streets a lot but more so in winter I believe. I know Nongshim has a snack food variety that you can buy at the convenience stores. They look like this:

고구마맛탕 is sweet potato cut into chunks and fried and coated with sweet sauce. The sauce is made with oil and sugar. I know you can buy it in the basement of the Department Stores - other than that I'm not really sure where it's sold but it's fairly common. Don't be surprised when it's cold! Looks like this:
