Answers please?
We are trying to settle a matter here, I suggested to my wife that we should try it, but the Hausa in her is standing in the way, she will only agree if people actually prepare a food like that (to avoid wasting precious potatoes and soup making time).

Potatoes might not have enough starch to bind, but I think it might be okay.
So, there's no harm in trying it.

See. There's even such a product as poundo potato.
It's potato flour for making swallow meals, for those who don't like too much starch in their diet.

Thanks a lot.

We will give it a try. I might post the result when we do.

Gracias.

Very possible. I have eaten it several times
It is called 'iyan anamo'. (Pounded potatoes) Thou it does not have starch like yam. If you want it to be better, don't pound it when still hot, let it cool.

It can also be mixed with yam, cocoyam, plantain or cassava

You can try it and tel us how it went. Every dish you see today was either an experiment by someone or divine idea.

Thanks for the heads-up as regards pounding temperature. We will try it on Sunday (my work free day), since I will do the pounding.

Coming soon....
