Good day lovelies and a very blessed sunday to you all 🥰 . This is my #creative sunday# blog, it’s not anything special, but stick with me till the end alright.
Sooo, lets get to it;
Now it’s not common news that Sundays, in most if not all, nigerian homes are set aside for rice and stew, like a kind of tradition that just started on it’s own and decided it was here to stay and wasn’t going nowhere 😂.
Soo here’s the catch; my home is not an exception 😆 we literally eat rice every sunday( either with tomatoe stew or with palm kernel stew, known as ofe aku in my language).
Now normally, rice and stew is the rest of the day’s food but in the morning is usually tea and bread. Let’s just say I got tired of that 😩 and told my mum lets have something else 😝 soo we decided on fried potatoes and pap.
Soo I’m sure we all know how to make fried potatoes with pap and it’s not special, but it’s still what i prepared so bear with me guys ok 😁🥺
Soo I first started by peeling the back of the potatoes
When I was done with peeling all the potatoes we were going to eat, I washed it( gotta eat clean and healthy now don’t we 😊)
After washing, I sliced my potatoes in the shape I wanted. Doing this also made me know if the amount of potatoes I was cutting was going to be enough, turns out it wasn’t 🤷🏽♀️ so I added one more as the certified foodie I am by my best babes 🤣
After slicing the amount I needed, it was time to add salt😰 now this was the tricky part to me cause my mum doesn’t like salt like that soo I had to put only a little 🫣
At a point I started thinking this amount I put would be too much cause it is sea salt we use at home and even just a little of sea salt can be too salty, but it was just my mind toying with me(I’ll let you guys know why later 😉).
After adding the salt and spreading it around the potatoes to reach everything, I brought down my frying pan and put enough vegetable oil I’d need to fry the potatoes in it.
I did this, then waited for the oil to heat up enough, then I put the potatoes into the oil and let it fry to my liking
When it had fried to how brown and crispy I liked it I brought it out of the oil 🥹😁
After this was done, I kept the frying pan aside and brought out a kind of salad plate and put the quantity of pap that would reach in it and mixed it with water, not to watery or ot won’t turn out right
After this, I put water in my kettle and put it on the gas and let it get hot enough that it starts bubbling. Then I pour the water into the liquid pap and turn it while pouring till it gets thick….
Voila there you have it; my very own fried potatoes and pap. Soo what I said I was going to telk you guys later was: the salt I put in the potatoes was apparently ok cause my momma was even asking me later if I even put salt at all 😂😭
A little truth; I would have preferred Irish potatoes cause i just love fried Irish potatoes 🥺🥰 but with how expensive they are here in Nigeria it’s a no go area 😉😰
Well!! There you have it. My creative sunday post 😁 I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it 🥰
See you lovelies next time 😝🥰😍😘

Oh my God, you have just prepared the food i have been wanting to eat for a very long time. You did a nice job preparing it and the steps you used are in details too, kudos to you and well done

Potato and vegetable sauce with pap, my mum's favorite breakfast.
When I saw the shape you cut them into I was kind of awed, I didn't know people cut them horizontally like that, but when I saw the final result, they actually look very nice.
And about the salt, my mummy also doesn't like salt so what I do is, I fry her own first without adding salt. Then after hers, I add as much salt as I want then fry my own.
I’m no chef but thank you 😊 it feels wierd cutting sweet potatoes in the shape I cut Irish potatoes soo I’m kind of used to sweet potatoes being circular and Irish potatoes straight 😊 and lol 😂 my mum won’t even give me enough time to fry hers first 😂😭
Okay Now I am craving for this😊🤭
Your creative sunday wants to make my sunday a craving sunday...
lol 😂 thank you 😊
You're welcome 😊😊 dear
Fried potatoes? I usually love it this way with added egg and tomato sauce. However, there are those who like it to be sliced tiny in form of chips.
Hmmm that’s true tho but I prefer that shape for Irish potatoes
It's been long since I ate potato not to talk of even adding egg into it. This dish looks yummy and I hope you kept mine because I'm coming to eat oo.
Well done baby. I'm proud of us, chef Dera baby 😘
😁😁 thank you 😊
