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. ; )

Steps:
- Steam the sweet potato in a steamer over a medium heat for 15-20 mins until soft enough to insert a cutlery knife into. Mash the sweet potato using a potato masher or a fork until smooth. Add the sugar, tapioca starch and a good pinch of seasoning, then mix well with your hands. Gradually pour in 1-2 tbsp water, then mix well until a pliable dough forms.
- Divide the dough into four and roll each piece into a long sausage shape around 2cm in diameter. Cut each length of dough into 2cm pieces and roll them into balls in the palm of your hand. Don't worry if they crumble, just keep squishing them until they form a ball.
- Half-fill a large, heavy-based saucepan with the oil. Heat over a medium temperature until a cooking thermometer reads 120C. Lower batches of the balls into the oil (you may need to cook them in two or three batches) and fry for 2 mins until they begin to float. When they are floating, turn down the heat slightly. Turn the balls in the oil using a slotted spoon until they expand in size, doing so every minute, for around 3-4 mins. Turn the heat back up and continue to deep-fry until golden brown.
- Transfer the balls onto kitchen paper using a slotted spoon. Leave to drain and cool a little, then serve.

- Remove the skin of sweet potatoes and cut into smaller pieces to quicken the steaming process. Steam sweet potatoes for at 10 minutes or until soft.
- Allow the sweet potatoes to cool slightly. It should still be hot and you should be able to touch them without any discomfort from the excess heat. Mash the sweet potato using a fork. Mix in sugar. Then, add cornflour and tapioca flour to create a dough.
- When the dough comes together, cut it into smaller chunks to create small balls. Each ball should weigh between 5 to 7g. Set aside.
- Heat oil in a pan over low heat. Once the oil is heated, add the sweet potato balls. Fry them for about 2 minutes before increasing the heat to medium. Move the balls around during frying. Once the oil is heating up vigorously (as seen in the photo), use a fork to press each ball against the wall of the pan. The whole frying process should take about 6 minutes.
