1. 1

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the peeled and cubed yams and boil until they are fork-tender, about 20-25 minutes.

   💡 Proffstips: Do not overcook the yams, as they can become mushy.
2. 2

   While the yams are boiling, heat the red palm oil in a separate pan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped red onion and sauté until caramelized, about 10 minutes.

   💡 Proffstips: Caramelizing the onions brings out their sweetness.
3. 3

   If using, add the shrimp bouillon cube to the caramelized onions and stir until fully dissolved. Remove the pan from heat.

4. 4

   Once the yams are tender, drain them thoroughly and place them in a large bowl. Mash the yams until smooth.

   💡 Proffstips: Mashing while the yams are still warm is easier.
5. 5

   Add the red palm oil and onion mixture to the mashed yams. Mix well until the yams turn a vibrant yellow color and are evenly coated. Season with salt to taste.

   💡 Proffstips: The red palm oil gives Oto its characteristic color and flavor.
6. 6

   Serve the Oto warm, topped with whole hard-boiled eggs. It can also be served with roasted peanuts or avocado slices.

   💡 Proffstips: Oto is often served as a breakfast dish or for special occasions.
