Baked Yam Fries

So I have tried tons of times to make baked yam and it always turns out soggy. I did a little digging online and turns out what I need to do is preseal the starch in yam. And viola, crispy baked yam!

1 Yam
Olive oil

Quarter the yam
Cut the yam further into 3-4 equal size wedges
Soak the yam in hot water for 10 minutes
Thoroughly dry the yam and mix it with olive oil.
Bake in 375 degree oven for about 20 minutes. Take them out when the corners are turning brown.
