Ingredients

1½ pound yautía (malanga) [0.7 kg]
1 tablespoon salt (plus more for seasoning at the end)
½ stick salted butter (salted) [113 grams]
¾ cup milk (whole or skim)
1 tablespoon garlic powder
Dominican sauteed red onions (optional)

Instructions

1. Peel

Peel the yautía with a potato peeler or paring knife, removing the thin brown skin.
Chop the yautía and rinse.

2. Boil

Place the rinsed yautía in a pot, and add sufficient water to cover it plus a couple of inches [5 cm]. Add ¾ tablespoon of the salt to the water.
Boil until they are fork-soft. Once boiled remove from the water and discard the water.

3. Mash

Mash until the mixture is very smooth and there aren't any lumps (a potato ricer or food mill [Amazon affiliate links] is perfect for it).

3. Mix

Incorportate butter, and then mix in the milk. Incorporate the garlic powder. Taste and season with salt to taste if you find it necessary.

4. Serve

Cover with the sauteed onion, and serve.
