What’s the name and story behind your signature dish?

The name of the dish is Golden Street Skillet Potatoes.

It is a dish born from simplicity, necessity, and creativity. The dish reflects a moment many people know too well standing in the kitchen with limited ingredients but a powerful desire to create something satisfying.

Using humble ingredients such as; potatoes, onions, oil, and seasoning, the dish is inspired by Nigerian street food culture, where everyday ingredients are transformed into comforting, flavourful meals through intuition and skill. The dish celebrates resourcefulness and the beauty of transforming something from nothing into something meaningful.

How does it reflect both your local roots and global imagination?

The dish is a local and at the same time an international dish. The flavors of the dish echo Nigerian kitchen seasoning cubes, onion, sizzling in oil, and the familiar aroma that fills the air when food is made with care.

The cooking method of the dish reflects a global imagination where one who imagines eating an international dish finds himself or herself eating what he or she has imagined. The technique of the dish is stir-frying. The golden, crispy finish of the potatoes bridges local taste with international standards, making the dish not top-notch

What makes it stand out from every other dish you’ve made?

What makes Golden Street Skillet Potatoes stand out from other dishes I have made is its versatility and honesty. There are no complex sauces or elaborate preparation of the dish as every ingredient is visible, every flavor is intentional. The dish relies on timing, heat control, and attention, making each preparation and stage a small lesson in creativity and patience.

If you could serve it to anyone in the world, who would it be and why?

Well if I could serve it to anyone in the world, it would be to young people who are striving to build something meaningful with less and limited resources. The dish carries a quiet message that goes this way: greatness does not always start with abundance. It begins with intention, effort, and the courage to start. It is more than a meal for me, as it reminds me always of simplicity. When handled with care, it can shine anywhere.
