Directions
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.
Cook 3 Ibs. POTATOES in boiling salted water. Use either sweet potatoes, white potatoes, or yams, or a combination of any of them.
Remove the skins and mash.
Season to taste. Butter may be added but do not add liquid.
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.
