Best Pap Potatoes And Cornmeal Recipes
PAP (POTATOES AND CORNMEAL)
This is a staple food in South Africa as well as other parts. My amaXhosa friend, Ntombizanele Sokupa, gave this recipe to me. Serve this with Chakolaka (Recipe #309581). I think the Pap would taste too plain without the Chakolka or something similar. The flavors from the Chakolaka tastes good with the Pap. Thanks Zanele!

Steps:
- Peel potatoes and dice. Put potatoes, water, salt, and oil in a pot and cook at a medium heat with the lid on until the potatoes are soft enough to mash.
- Mash the potatoes in the pot. Stir in the cornmeal and cook the pap for about 15 minutes until done. It's good to use a wooden spoon to mix the pap every 5 minutes (Don't scrap the part that sticks to the pan- just leave it there and eat the soft part only).
- Serve hot and enjoy the Pap with Chakalaka.

MICROWAVE CORNMEAL MIELIE PAP WITH SHEBA
This is a great side dish which is a staple in South African homes. It is a quick and easy substitute for mashed potatoes, and is great with barbequed meat - braaivleis. Sheba is a rich tomato gravy which is great over the pap and freezes well. One recipe is usually good for two or three recipes of pap.
