How to make Nigerian Sweet Potato Porridge

1. First of you start by washing your potatoes (because most times it's covered in dirt)
2. Then you peel off the skin
$Step 1.1: 2\$
1. Next you cut into a nice chunky like cube, wash it two or three times ( to be sure there's no sand or dirt) then place it in a pot
Allow to boil for 5 minutes, then start adding your ingredients. Add ½ tsp of salt, ½tsp of pepper, 1 seasoning cube, 1 tablespoon of dried crayfish ( the crayfish is optional but I am southern Nigerian so it is a must for me 😂) and allow to simmer for 2 minutes
Next you add your chopped up onions and stir then add palm oil (3 tsp) and allow to simmer on low heat for 1 minutes.
Finally you add, your sliced and washed spinach leaves and allow to simmer on low heat for 45 secs to 1 minute and voila! Your sweet potato porridge is ready 😋
