📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Egg balls are a popular snack sold at Guyanese stalls and snack shops: boiled eggs are wrapped in seasoned cassava mash, coated, and fried. The Guyanese way is to eat them with mango sour (a tart chutney). They're staples outside schools and at festival stalls. This version uses potato for the mash.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At a street stall in Georgetown, a golden egg ball is cut in half, topped with sour mango sauce, and wrapped in paper.
