Waiting for a cook

Yam Balls

Nigeria

What we know so far

Yam balls (ji akpurakpu in Igbo) are what a Nigerian kitchen does with leftover boiled yam: mashed with butter and a little milk, mixed with fried onion and pepper, rolled into balls, dipped in egg and fried until the shell is golden and the inside soft and creamy. They are breakfast, a snack with a cold drink, or party small chops. Some cooks tuck a piece of boiled egg or a spoon of spiced minced meat inside and roll the balls in breadcrumbs, which makes them a full meal with pepper sauce.
