Yam Balls

Ghana

What we know so far

Yam balls, yele kakro in Ga, are Ghana's croquettes: boiled yam mashed with butter, salt and pepper, shaped around a spoon of flaked fish or a spicy filling, dipped in egg, coated in breadcrumbs or flour and deep-fried until crisp and golden. They are sold as a snack from street trays and served at parties with shito or pepper sauce. Nigeria makes the same thing and calls it ji akpurakpu, with a filling of peppery tomato and egg.
