The tropical root malanga (aka yautia or ocumo) is a wonderful starchy option for those who need to avoid potatoes. It is traditionally used widely throughout Latin America and is great for those following the paleo autoimmune protocol (AIP) or anyone looking for new "safe starch" options to eat. You can find these roots at most Latin grocery stores around the country and sometimes at mainstream grocery stores, too (like in Florida). This recipe is an extremely simple yet incredibly delicious way to enjoy malanga - as AIP-friendly hashbrowns!
