I made it last night, I used cornstarch and gf flour to thicken. It came out great!! I tried pounding it into a ball lol but that didn't work but still tastes great! Also, I had to add water to the potatoes they were so thick my little food processor stopped processing. Love this thank you! 💝
@@ashleyshrum5803 hm, I'm not sure I copied the same instructions she used just used the different ingredients. So I can't remember if she mentions the temp, but whatever she used I did too!
I’m African American and I absolutely love Nigerian food, especially Fufu! I always order extra! As you may know, casasava, yuca, and plantain isn’t a staple in American diets but I always have potatoes. This is a great way to use up potatoes to go bad. Thanks for much! Can’t wait to make this!
My son wanted to try fufu. Remembered my friends using potato flakes, but I had fresh potatoes to use up. Your video was wonderful to watch. I made your version and it didn't let us down. Not a potato bit left! We had ours with a peanut chicken stew and a peanut vegetable stew. Will try out other fufu via your instructional video. Bless you 🤗
Thank you so much for this beautiful feedback. I am very happy to hear that the recipe worked for you and your family. Thank you for stopping by and God bless you too.❤️🤗
My husband wants fufu again, he says he loved it when he tried it with his family. I haven’t been able to find any cassava so this is wonderful!! I’m so happy I’ll be able to make him food he loves and I’ll be able to try some as well. Thank you ♥️
This is a new one for me. We used potato starch and instant potato flakes before African foods came to the USA. There are many African food stores where I live. However the products can be quite expensive. So I will try your recipe. Looks great!
I am a young cooking lover and starting to learn recipes from around the world and I love this video it makes learning recipes easy fun and straight forward
The bowl in that you "stamped" the Fufu remembered me of my visit at a Ghanaian families place, where we were happy to spend two weeks. In that bowl they prepared red pepper bells for the dish. It was a great time and from then on I love Banku and Fufu very much ❤️
It is an earthenware bowl called Asanka. We eat in it and use it as a grinder too, it's actually very multipurpose. I am so happy to read you had such a good time in my homeland.❤
Love this video. If you are in the US, use the baking potatoes, the big brown ones . It has the texture more of yam. I use it to make pounded yam substitute.
I’m so excited I came across this recipe. I don’t have a food processor/blender. But I believe I can avoid lumps lol. Trial and error!! - lemme test my strong arm lol
Я все время смотрела только по видео фуфу. Хотелось попробовать! Но у нас нет таких ингредиентов как в Африке. И тут я вижу что это можно приготовить из картофеля! Я счастлив! Спасибо вам! Пойду готовить! Вам процветания!
I personally didn't like the texture Cornstarch gave me, so I don't recommend. But I would really love to hear how it went for you. A lot of people in the comment section would like to use Cornstarch too. Your feedback could be very valuable to a lot of people.🤗❤️
Been searching for forever on how to make this with potatoes. My dad needed extra help when it was coming to the end of his life and we had a few nurses who would stay up thru the night to take care of my dad. I was a night owl and would stay up and keep the coffee pot filled/hot for the nurse. I got to talking to one gentleman and he got really excited when i was asking about his background. He whipped out his lunch his wife made him after about 15 minutes of talking and asked if he could eat his lunch and i said for sure. He looked at me with the biggest eyes and said "would you like to try?" and i said yes if it was ok and he got even more excited and set it all up. it was this and his wife made a thicker soup to dip it into. I freaking loved it and told him to give his wife a big ol hug for me because it was so yummy. We only had 2 more nights together and i've never seen him again, i hope he and his wife are living well ❤ edit: forgot to add, his wife gave me my own the next day 🥰🥰🥰
I haven't tried it with all purpose flour before, it might work, but may also change the taste. I have tried it with Cornflour before and it didn't work. The starch content is not high enough to bind everything together.
Thank you.

Thank you! I have been looking for this recipe for so many years. After eating real fufu (made of fresh yam) in Benin about 20 years ago, I could not find out how to get this real fufu consistency. It is just not the same as just mashed yam. Now I understand how. Thank you for this video! Does yam contain enough starch on it's own?
Yam fufu has a different texture than this fufu. It is also prepared differently. But usually, Yam fufu is made with only Yam without any extra starch. I hope this helps.
Thank you so much for this video! I'd love to make fufu, but plantain and cassava is not sold where I live; good to know it can be made with potatoes as well! Just a little question: do you recommend any specific kind of potato to use, like a russet or Yukon gold?
I don't recommend corn starch because the texture will not be the same as mine even though it will thicken the potato. Personally, I haven't tried sweet potatoes before, but I don't see why it won't work.
So excited to try this recipe! 🎉 Thank you so much for sharing! 🙏🏾 About how long do you boil your potatoes? Also, are you cooking the fufu on a medium heat the whole time? How long does it take to stir and cook before it is done? Thank you again for answering questions!
I am happy to know you are excited about trying the recipe. Boil the potatoes until soft. I can't give a specific time because it depends on the quantity and type op potatoes. You can't go wrong here. Just boil them until they are very soft. Yes, I am cooking it on medium heat the whole time. Again, how long it will take depends on the quantity. But the stirring and turning may take about 15 minutes for the amount I made. I hope this helps. 🤗
@@AmazinKitchen yes! It really helps. I made it and it came out okay. Not nearly as good as yours looked and it took much more potato starch to get it to bind but we got there in the end. It was very smooth and very delicious.
I am so glad it came out well for you. Try it again and keep playing with the ratios. You will soon find what works best for you. Thank you so much for your feedback.😊
My 11 year old has been begging for fufu for a few years. We finally moved into an african neighborhood. We tried it and he was hooked. He sent this video for me to make at home. He tells me "you have to use some arm work mom" 😂 uh thanks... i am happy i can make it for him though
Unfortunately not, Cornstarch is more of a binder for Sauces. It is not strong enough to make the fufu form a ball. In developing this recipe, I tried with Cornstarch and it didn't work.😕
Unfortunately not. Cornstarch works best for Sauces, it is not strong enough to make the potatoes form a ball. In developing this recipe, I tried it and it didn't work.
Corn starch will thicken it but you won't be able to form a smooth ball like in the video. You need potato starch or any strong starch like the potato starch. Someone in the comment section tried tapioca starch and it worked for her.
I tried this for the first time with curried chicken..omg! It was a messy delight. It didn't quite turn out like yours; I will try with plantains next time, then after that an African man better come and marry me 😂
Unfortunately not ☹️ corn starch is not strong enough to bind the potatoes. It will thicken it, but you won't be able to form a smooth ball like in the video.

What temp is the stove at with the cornstarch?

You are welcome 😊 let me know how it goes.
This is a Ghanaian blog and it’s Ghanaians that eat cassava and plantain fufu. Our foods look similar but sometimes with different ingredients
You can use cassava flour if you don’t have yuca or fresh cassava where you live. I made fufu using the cassava flour and it turned out well.
Nigerians also eat cassava and plantain fufu too

Amazing video, i’ve always wanted to try Fufu, and i must say was tempted to buy the box but your recipe is so easy to follow, will defo try it!!

Beautiful! I made plantain fufu with egusi stew last night and it was amazing! P.s. My favorite part too is kneading the fufu after it's cooked.
It's so fun, it brings out the child in me.😂😂
This made me so hungry. I will attempt this next time we make a stew 😋
You will love it 😊
You sure did a fabulous job! ❤️❤️❤️ The way you cut the potatoes 🥔 in your hand is in ART in itself.
Aww thank you so much. Your comment just melted my heart ❤
I THOUGHT THE SAME THING. ❤️
Thank you ❤️🤗
I've never had fufu before. I'm making it with a beef stew tonight. I can't wait to try it! Thanks for sharing!
Sounds great, let me know how it goes 😊
I did end up making it and we loved it. My MIL wasn't too excited about it but my husband and I were. We will def be making it again @@AmazinKitchen

I like this recipe of fufu i am going to try it South Africa thanks lady
You will love it🤗
I have become so curious to try this. Definitely making some for me and the kids. I'm in South Africa and will be using cornstarch for binding.

I’m from South America Guyana and I never had fufu, but I so want to try it, especially this potato one
I hope you enjoy it when you try. Kindly let me know how it goes 😊
Definitely had fun kneading. Used less potatoes but forgot to reduce potato starch😅was super sticky but still yum
I love the kneading part too.😍😂
I'm gonna try to make fufu because my soon to be husband is in Nigeria and i love cooking so this is a great way to cook for him it looks good

Can I just get corn starch to mack it I'm craving this
Hello! i was wondering if you could use all purpose flour or cornstarch for the fufu??
I haven't tried it with all purpose flour before, it might work, but may also change the taste. I have tried it with Cornflour before and it didn't work. The starch content is not high enough to bind everything together.
Thank U for Sharing… Gonna Try @ Home
You are welcome. Let me know how it goes 🤗
Can't wait to try this but plz can I cassava flour to make the slurry
I haven't tried it before, so I can't say for sure. Someone in the comment section has and it worked for them.
I don't really like bananas, so I was hoping to find a more plain tasting fufu recipe that's almost like potato. So I'm glad I found this
So good to hear this video is helpful
Cool. How do you clean up the pot and pans? Fufu looks hard to clean up.
Fill the pot hot with water and allow it to sit for few hours. You should be able to clean it easily afterwards.
Thats really yummy, thanks for sharing.
You are welcome, and thank you too for stopping by.
Great cutting method! Cooking as well ❤️🙏🏽
Thank you so much 🤗
Love this tutorial on potato fufu, you made this very well and informative 🤙
Thank you, glad to know it was helpful!😊
Can I use the all purpose flour?
You probably can but it will affect the taste. I personally haven't tried that before. 🤗
I wanted to know the recipe about this dish but now I got it after a long time
❤Thanks.
But to cook it haven't tried yet.
I am glad you have found it finally!🤗
I was wondering if potatoes could be used for fufu as they are starchy.
Well, I am glad you found this video.😊
Really Beautyfull and yummy too

Thank you so much for this video! I'd love to make fufu, but plantain and cassava is not sold where I live; good to know it can be made with potatoes as well! Just a little question: do you recommend any specific kind of potato to use, like a russet or Yukon gold?
I would recommend russet potatoes, but a mixture of both will work too. Basically any potatoes good for mashing will give you the best results.
@@AmazinKitchen ooo alright, thank you so much

Yummy fufu😋😋i go try this tonight
Enjoy 😉

Please can i make use of corn flour for the thickner?
Also can someone use sweet potatoes too?
I don't recommend corn starch because the texture will not be the same as mine even though it will thicken the potato. Personally, I haven't tried sweet potatoes before, but I don't see why it won't work.

Hahaha I hope you are able to make some for him. 😊🤗
Please tell me what you can you instead of an asanka bowl?! I cannot find one!! Thank you!
You can use a ceramic bowl or a bamboo bowl.
Im sooooo making this for dinner tonight 🤩🤩🤩

If I don't have potato starch Can I us cornstarch instant of potatostarch
Unfortunately not, Cornstarch is more of a binder for Sauces. It is not strong enough to make the fufu form a ball. In developing this recipe, I tried with Cornstarch and it didn't work.😕
That was beautiful
Thank you 😊
Omg thank you I needed this video ❤️❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
You are welcome 🤗
Can we also use istant yeast..?
Absolutely not!
Hi can I use corn starch instead of potato starch? They do the same thing right??
They are both binders, but they don't bind the same way. Cornstarch will not give you the same texture like mine.
It really looks nice
Thank you 😊
so nice to hear the process
Thank you 🤗
thank you sis
Looks amazing great job can't wait to try this 😀
Thank you. Let me know how it goes.🤗
Thanks for this video
Pls is it Ihish potatoes you used
Yes please, I used Irish potatoes.
Can we use corn starch?
Unfortunately not. Cornstarch works best for Sauces, it is not strong enough to make the potatoes form a ball. In developing this recipe, I tried it and it didn't work.
Can you use casava flour as binding starch?
Yes, you can use cassava starch.
Great, thank you for recipe, If i use Conflour instead of Potato starch, is that okay
Corn starch will thicken it but you won't be able to form a smooth ball like in the video. You need potato starch or any strong starch like the potato starch. Someone in the comment section tried tapioca starch and it worked for her.
you also need to make a video on how to clean the pans after cooking fufu.
Alright, I will. But you can fill your pot with water and let it sit for some few hours.
I can't wait to try it.
Let me know how it goes 🤗
This was a fun and a easy recipe
I am glad you feel that way, because I thought so too. 🤗
I tried this for the first time with curried chicken..omg! It was a messy delight. It didn't quite turn out like yours; I will try with plantains next time, then after that an African man better come and marry me 😂
Hahaha you are so funny! 😂😂 I am sending all the African brothers to you right now.🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️
Can i use corn starch instead of potato starch …. And much love ❤❤
Yes, you can, but I don't recommend it. The texture will not be the same as with the potato starch.
Hello i cant find potatoe starch were i live is it possible to use cornstarch?
Yes, you can. But the texture will be slightly different than what you see in the video. That's why I don't recommend it.
Hi dear can I use corn starch instead of potato starch
Unfortunately not ☹️ corn starch is not strong enough to bind the potatoes. It will thicken it, but you won't be able to form a smooth ball like in the video.
hi, sister I want to know if I can use corn Flour instead of starch if not available?
You can, but it might change the texture slightly.
Can I put cornstarch ?👀
No please, cornstarch is not strong enough to bind it. It will thicken it but you won't be able to form a ball.
