Poundo Potato
Poundo potato is a Nigerian swallow made from potato flour, a quick stand-in for dough that is traditionally pounded by hand. It needs only flour and water, and the whole job takes a few minutes at the stove. The one skill that matters is steady stirring while the flour goes in, which keeps the mass smooth instead of lumpy. Serve it beside any Nigerian soup and pinch off pieces to scoop it up.
Instructions
Bring water to a boil in a small pot.
Stir in the potato flour until the mixture turns thick. Keep stirring as you add it so lumps do not form.
Add a little more water and cook over low heat for 5 minutes.
Stir again until the mixture is smooth.
Take the pot off the heat and wrap the swallow in a wrapper. Serve it with any soup you like.
Make it personal.
