Peel it back with a knife... (3-4mm thick) hard to describe, but you don't want any of the 'spots/dots', just clear white...
anyway, cut it up into even size pieces... not too small! ! cover with water and bring to the boil then turn it down to a simmer... prolly about 30mins, test with a fork, you don't want mush like kumara pumpkin... should be easy enough to poke the fork through... but still firm... lol.
Where are you? Might be easier if I came over and showed you... I'll bring the chop suey LOL

Bake in the oven - skin on - like a potato until it gives when you squeeze it. Cut open and serve with butter, salt and pepper.

Make sure you buy the more tender pink taro! Much nicer and have it with coconut cream and onion. Yum!

with the SKIN ON? ? Ummm that's a first. Personally I'd still give peel it, wrap it in foil, back for about an hour on moderate oven, remove the foil and bake for a further 30 mins if you like a crunchy outter. But skin on... gosh, never heard of it ever being cooked that way - always a first though.
And yeah, the pink is much nicer than the white taro :)
