Directions:
Prepare the Yam: Start by peeling and boiling the yams until soft. This will take about 15–20 minutes. Once they are cooked through, drain the water and mash the yams until smooth. Allow them to cool down a bit.
Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed yams, chopped onions, minced garlic, parsley, and grated cheese (if using). Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the flour and egg to help bind the mixture together.
Form the Balls: Use your hands to shape the yam mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball. Roll each ball lightly in breadcrumbs to coat them evenly.
Fry the Yam Balls: Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully drop the yam balls into the oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the balls until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 4-5 minutes. You can check by cutting one open to make sure it’s fully heated through.
Drain and Serve: Once the yam balls are golden and crispy, remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
