Default Malanga root- recipes?

I was looking for Jicama in a few stores the other day and kept seeing
Malanga- so I finally bought a couple pounds. [took me 4 stores to
find a Jicama-- and that one only had a few days left on its life. I
don't use it often, but I've never had trouble finding it before]

Then when I went looking for Malanga recipes I didn't find a whole lot
of them.

I tasted it raw & it seems like a not-so-starchy potato with some real
nice nutty background.

Fried up nicely so I think I try some fritters that are reminiscent of
latkes.

I'm looking at a simple cream of Malanga soup. [Malanga, roasted
garlic & stock]

Anything I *have* to try while I'm playing with Malanga?
