HOw to cook Naija mashed potato salad. you want great results with your mashed potatoes, next time, bake in an oven before you mash. This meal was so relaxing and refreshing. Because I did not 
rush with the pepper soup, but reduced the heat and gave the chicken enough time to simmer till tender. We were chewing bones as if we cooked soft chicken.

 Like I insisted with the girls, if you really want to enjoy this meal, then allow yourself to get done with eating your salad before eating the pepper soup. Do not try to eat the two together as if you are eating amala with ewedu soup. 
 
Imagine that the pepper soup is your dessert and eat it later. That way, you get to really enjoy the lingering taste of the well simmered chicken. 

How To Boil Eggs: 

  1. wash eggs with detergent
  2. with a long spoon, drop the washed eggs in boiling water
  3. let them boil for 5 to 8 minutes
  4. remove from boiling water and immediately put in cold water. This helps when you remove the shells.
OR add vinegar to boiling water with the eggs OR Add salt to harden the shells before turning on the cooker.
Tips For Cooking Eggs:
Before cooking eggs, drop gently in a bowl of water. Anyone that floats on top is bad.
Cook only eggs that sink under the water.
Do not break eggs directly into your food. Break into a separate container, ensure that they are OK, before adding to your cooking pot.
Ingredients for Naija Mashed Potato Salad:
  1. boiled potatoes
  2. salt

Ingredients in mashed potatoes depend on what you want. How smooth or rough it looks also depends on how you mash your potatoes. Greens can be added to make it more colorful.
Eggs and even onions can also be left out. There is no strict rule with mashed potatoes, it is how you, want to enjoy your dish.

 
 

Tips On Buying Live Chickens:

  1. Lift the chicken up and ensure that it is heavy
  2. Look at its legs, chickens with bigger legs tend to be heavier and fatter when dressed
  3. Before cooking, put parts with tiny hair over a naked flame to burn those remaining hair
  4. Peel any for skin left on the legs. The sellers rush to attend to other customers and so, do not really take time to peel off the legs or cut off it’s beak and long nails.
  5. If you are using the legs for pepper soup, ensure that those nails are properly cut off.
