Ibadan, Nigeria.

My family has a small farm on which we planted some water yams months ago. When we harvested them, I decided to do a short recipe series on water yam dishes. This is the first recipe. Enjoy! Your comments are highly welcomed.

Steps

40 minutes

1

Peel and cut the yam into small chunks.
2

Wash the chunks and grate into a bowl. Add the onion to the pepper in a small bowl.
3

Add the pepper and onion to the grated yam and mix steadily for about 2 minutes until it is well mixed.
4

Add the salt and mix.
5

Place your frying pan on medium heat. Pour some oil into the pan, about half-inch high. Leave it to heat for about 3 minutes.
6

Use your fingers to scoop small bits of the mix into the oil. Make it small so it will fry easily.
7

Fry until they are golden-brown on both sides. Remove from the oil and fry the rest of the mixture.
