Steps:
- Warm a medium saucepan with 200 mL (7 oz) of the boiling water.
- In a small jug blend the potato flour with the 200 mL (7 oz) of lukewarm water (mixing some of the boiling water with part of the cold water; the water must not be hot or it will cook the starch to form a creamy mixture. Empty the water from the warmed saucepan.
- Pour the potato flakes into the saucepan and add the remaining boiling water, enough to fully cover the potato flakes.
- Do not stir yet. Using a wooden spoon , stir the potato flour mixture in the jug and quickly add this to the saucepan.
- Speed is of the essence here, as is dexterity! Stir the 2 mixtures together vigorously, pulling the dough in from the centre against the inside of the saucepan with one hand and gripping the pan firmly with the other.
- When the dough is firm and smooth, moisten a small bowl with small quantities of the cold water and scoop the dough into this bowl, either as one large ball or individual balls, and serve with soup.

FUFU
conventional west African fufu is made by boildin such starchy foods as cassava, yam, plantain or rice, then pounding them into a glutinous mass, usually in a giant, wooden mortar and pestle. This adaptation for North Americans may trouble you if you try to stick to minimally processed foods. but it's worth trying at least once with West African Peanut Soup.

Steps:
- Bring 6 cups of water to a rapid boil in a large, heavy pot.
- Combine the two ingredients and add to the water.
- Stir constantly for 10-15 minutes - a process that needs two people for best results: one to hold the pot while the other stirs vigorously with a strong implement (such as a thick wooden spoon). The mixture will become very thick and difficult to stir, but unless you are both vigilant and energetic, you'll get a lumpy mess.
- When the fufu is ready (or you've stirred to the limits of your endurance), dump about a cup of the mixture into a wet bowl and shake until it forms itself into a smooth ball.
- Serve on a large platter alongside a soup or stew.

This is a very good dish. It is Ghanaian, and it tastes very well with steaming groundnut soup on top of it.

CINNAMON-SUGAR FUFU
My husband and I tried this at the Animal Kingdom Lodge at Disney world, which is an absolutely marvelous buffet of African food. We loved it. I tried to get the waiter to sneak me the recipe to no avail. But he would tell me the ingredients, so I had to work out the proportions myself. It's pretty close.
