Mashed Yams with Eggs

Boil the eggs in salted water for 10-12 minutes until hard-boiled, then cool, peel, and chop into chunks.

Heat the melted palm oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add the grated onions, stirring frequently until softened and fragrant, about 2 minutes.

Add the mashed yams to the skillet and stir well to combine with the oil and onions, breaking up any lumps.

Cook the yam mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and allow the flavors to meld, about 3-4 minutes.

Gently fold in the chopped hard-boiled eggs, being careful not to break them apart further.

If using the ripe tomato, fold in the peeled and diced tomato and stir gently to distribute throughout.

Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste, stirring to ensure even seasoning.

Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the mixture is heated through and the ingredients are well combined.

Transfer to a serving platter and serve hot as a main course or side dish.
