The kitchen has always been one of my favorite place in the house. I couldn't handle the fact that I bought potatoes yesterday as stated in my last post and today I couldn't help myself staying away from the beautiful appearance of the glorious sweet potatoes.
Today, I will be talking about how I prepared the most common Potato Potage in Nigeria. Many Nigerians will call it ASARO and I myself will like to call it ASARO.
Okay, I can't see the difference.

After a few minutes of boiling the Potatoes, drop the pot containing the Potatoes from the fire and use a turning stick as we call it to mash the Potatoes.
Add the squished smoked fish, desired cubes of Maggi seasoning and scent leaves to the Potato Potage and stir.

This recipe of yours - potato porridge, is nutrient dense. Ordinarily, potatos are a good source of magnesium. Besides, scent leaves/ basil leaves gives the meal additional boost of magnesium coupled with vitamin k. These all help for better calcium absorption protecting your bone health & immune system.
If only Nigerians realized how important zobo is to their cardiovascular health, there would be less hypertension in the population. Just eat your potato porridge. About 30 mins later drink your zobo. Two hours after go to bed and sleep. You'll wake up very refreshed to face the challenges of a new day.
Bravo!!!
