@ShadyGreenThumb
Quite easy. Clean tubers, peel skin. Cut 1-2cm, boil about half to an hour (additions of garlic, salt, chilly pepper, herbs into boiling water is optional), after boiling they won't be really soften, but becoming glossy at cutting. It is edible now but plain and fibrous.
Cool it down. Pound it on hard surface with wooden hammer or any mallet-like-tool, into 2mm thick. Use more than 1 cubes of tuber for bigger size. Remove and sun-dry, (can also be dried in an oven). After really dried, it can be stored for months.
Whenever needed, fry it just like any other chips (we use palm oil), nothing special. Serve with chilly sauce or any dipping.
It is a common snack in some area of my country, we called it "emping garut". Here are few links (but it is in indonesian... but sure you'll get the idea..

(I also put few cuts of fried shallot/onion/or leek, when hammering and pound it together to add flavor, and sometimes dried little shrimps (Acetes/krills).... or dried fish, or anything you want)
