You possibly get tired of eating the usual Boiled or Fried yam. Well, there are other fun things to do with yams. Sometimes I make these yam balls with sweet potato, Irish potatoes and yams Other times i add ground beef like I did in this particular recipe or Tuna for a change.

- mash your boiled yam and add the minced meat mixture,a knob of butter,part of the egg.
