Instructions

1. Start by cutting your yam into a bowl with clean water. Cut them into small sizes to aid easy mashing
2. Add some salt to taste and sprinkle in some sugar if you are about that life
3. While your Yam is boiling, chop your onions glaze very lightly with salt and fry in little oil, then set aside
4. Drain your yam water and proceed to mashing with your masher. (My yam was super hard and I didn’t have a masher so I used a food processor/ blender, this might give a different feel as opposed to a proper mashing but still a hit)
5. Add your milk to the Yam batter while mashing
6. Add in the yolk from one of your eggs but keep the egg white
7. Grate in your cheddar cheese
8. Add your pepper ( I didn’t bother adding salt as I already boiled with salt and a bit of sugar)
9. Mix your batter together and get ready to scoop
10. Scoop your batter and roll into balls
11. Get a formation of egg bowl(some people use milk instead), flour and bread crumbs
12. Dip your balls one after the other in the following order— flour, egg and crumbs
13. When all balls are fully coated, proceed to frying the balls on medium to low heat. Ensure that your oil is sizzling enough to avoid the balls soaking up too much oil.
14. Serve and treat your taste buds to some yumminess guys!
