Boil the yam until soft (but not mushy) and drain. While the yam is boiling, heat up about 2 tbsp of oil in a pan and brown the minced beef. Add all the herbs, spices and seasoning in.
Once browned, add the pepper mix and continue to cook for a further 5 mins. Turn off the heat and allow it to cool down a bit.
Mash up the boiled yam using whatever tool you prefer. You want it all broken up and crumbly but not completely smooth like pounded yam or mashed potatoes.
Add the minced sauce to the yam and mix until everything is integrated. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Rub a bit of oil between your palms and using a small icecream scoop or tablespoon, scoop up the yam mixture into your hands and roll into golf sized balls.
Heat up a pan with oil(about 2-3 inches of oil). Beat the eggs in a bowl and set aside. Coat the yam ball with the egg, followed by a bit of ground golden morn, then fry in the oil until all sides are golden brown. Drain on some paper towel to remove the excess oil. Serve with a side of chili sauce. I served mine with pepper soup. Enjoy!
