Steps
Put the hopniss, water and salt in a frying pan.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then turn down the heat to a simmer until the liquid is reduced by 3/4 and the hopniss is tender, about 10 minutes. Drain the water from the pan.
Turn up the heat to medium high, then add the oil and mix to coat the tubers. Cook until the tubers are golden brown, turning and stirring occasionally as if cooking new potatoes.
Taste a tuber and adjust the seasoning for salt and pepper until it tastes good to you, then serve hot.

Michelle on 2024-04-03 (5 stars): I live in Grande Prairie, Alberta (northern Alberta, Canada). They do flower for sure in my area. I have them growing in my yard. I haven't seen any of the pods though.
John Hoag on 2024-03-22 (5 stars): I live in the Hudson Valley just south of Albany would be interested in getting some of your tubers so I can start some here.

Andy on 2024-01-09 (5 stars): Does this plant flower in the north? I am seeing evidence that the flowers are edible and that makes sense as a legume. The flowers are lovely and seem like they could be fantastic as food.
