QUICK RECIPE NOTES AND TIPS
The potatoes can easily get over cooked and become mushy which is still delicious but make sure to keep an eye on it while it cooks. Because of the waxy nature of some potatoes you may need more water than when you are making traditional yam pottage/porridge. If you notice its too thick, dont be afraid to add more water.
You can substitute water for stock. If you decide to do that cut down on the boiuillon and salt.
