  • Butter

Directions

1

Foo-Foo is pounded cassava or yam. It can be made from any mashed starchy vegetable and used as an accompaniment for a meat or fish entree.

2

Cook 3 Ibs. POTATOES in boiling salted water. Use either sweet potatoes, white potatoes, or yams, or a combination of any of them.

3

Remove the skins and mash.

4

Season to taste. Butter may be added but do not add liquid.

5

A quick Foo-Foo can be made with instant mashed potatoes. Cut down on the amount of liquid required in the directions to give a heavy consistency.
