TASTIEST GHANAIAN YAM BALLS RECIPE

Yam balls (Croquettes) are popular snacks enjoyed both in Ghana and Nigeria. Leftover boiled Yams are used in making this snack, which is enjoyed by all. Recipe varies from each household as it depends on what is leftover. The snack can be made into an indulgent affair or a simple tasty dish. This recipe is inspired by my Mum's creativity in using what is leftover.
