    i was just in the Mindo area. We had a wonderful snack. It was almost like a yellow mashed potatoe that was lightly browned. I believe that it was made from yucca/cassava. Do you know what I had? I am having company this week and using your recipes and I know that my friends would love this.
    Thank you so much.
