Best recipe crushed potatoes with video

The recipe for potatoes , which I present to you today comes straight from my home, more precisely in the region of West Cameroon, it is a dish that reminds me a lot of my holidays with my grandmother because the pill of apple almost never missed on the menu of the week, and as we were numerous at home (several grandchildren) , it was necessary that the quantity was really sufficient, which makes more work😃.

We found ourselves to peel the potatoes at least for 2 hours all together. It should be noted that my grandmother chose a very special variety of apple. The potatoes were really very small. It is true that this type of apple is very low in water, but that did not facilitate our task…. 😂

How to cook potatoes? ::

To make this recipe for crushed potatoes , it will just take 4 ingredients and voila. The apples of course, black beans, palm oil and salt and pepper (optional).

After cooking the beans, I keep another part of the cooking water to cook the potatoes. This is what my grandmother was doing and that's what I took up in the recipe. This step is however optional: you can also cook the potatoes normally with water.

Here is a little video that I made to show you exactly how we do 🙂

The only step that takes a little time here is cooking black beans. You have to soak the beans the day before or a few hours before they are a little more soft. During cooking, I also add gemal salt or potash.
