Fufu - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 lbs yams (or malanga or cocoyam or green plantains)
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
salt
pepper

Preparation

Peel the yam and malanga. Remove the peel from the plantains.
Cut into large (2-3 inch) chunks.
In a large pot, boil in water until soft, about half an hour.
Drain.
Mash slightly.
Place in the food processor with the butter, salt and pepper. Blend to a smooth, very thick paste. (If the paste is too thin to hold its shape, stir in a very small amount of dried potato flakes.).
Roll into golf-ball sized pieces.
