Yam Balls West Africa Recipes
YAM BALLS
This is a popular african snack, don't know where my mom got the recipe from, but it's very tasty, you could use ordinary potatoes instead of yam. They are traditionally made plain, but can be flavoured with vegetables, meat, fish or different spices, depending on your mood. ; )

- Peel the yam and cut into small chunks, rinse till clean, add to a pan, add enough water to cover it. Add salt to taste and bring to boil until soft and tender
- Separate the egg yolk from white (put in a separate bowl). Drain the oil from the sardine if using sardines in sunflower
- Check on the yam, once it is done, drain the water, add butter and mash till smooth. (I don’t recommend using blender or food processor for this part as it makes the yam stretchy and that is not what you want)
