Potato Porridge (Nuhuu)

Happy Saturday Kings and Queens. I hope you guys are doing well. Today I'm taking you back to our old African Dish. We normally use yam or cocoyam to make this but I switched to potatoes instead as it's available and very affordable as well. People in Ghana get this dish confuse with another. This is "Nuhuu" not mpotopoto. "Mpotopoto" is mashed ripe plantain. I believe Nigerians call it "Asaro".  Fasten your seatbelt and take this ride with me to my Kitchen!!

2 cups of water 

2 Maggi cubes

1 big smoked fish 

1 small onion

•Add the tomatoes and stir
