Purée de Malanga (Mashed Malanga)
Prep time
Cook time
Total time
Purée de Malanga (Mashed Malanga) is nutritious and is easily digested. It looks similar to Mashed Potatoes, but in my opinion taste much better. It was one of those comfort foods that I would eat as a child when sick and somehow always made me feel better.
