Vegetable oil for frying
Preheat oil in a deep fryer or deep, heavy pot (do not fill pot more than halfway with oil) to 360°F.
While oil is heating, scrub sweet potatoes/yams, but don't peel them. Using a mandoline or food processor, slice the sweet potatoes very thinly.
Steam or parboil the slices about 5 minutes, until they soften and darken slightly. DRAIN/DRY *VERY WELL*.
Working in batches so as not to crowd the fryer, fry the chips, pushing them down with a slotted spoon as necessary to keep them submerged in the oil.
Fry about 5 minutes, until lightly browned and crisped. Toss with brown sugar while still warm and serve immediately.
