Pain Patate | Pen Patat
The name literally means sweet-potato bread, but this Haitian treat is like a baked pudding. The secret is to use white sweet potatoes, also called boniatas, and not orange ones or yams. Otherwise, the dish will look unappetizing though it will taste good.

- 2 lbs white sweet potatoes
- 1 large banana, peeled and cut in one-inch pieces
