How to Make Guatemalan Sweet Potatoes With Bananas

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Wash and pierce 1 pound of sweet potatoes several times with a fork. Microwave on high for 5-7 minutes, or until easily pierced with a fork.
  3. While the sweet potatoes are cooking, peel and mash 2 ripe bananas in a medium bowl.
  4. Once the sweet potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel and add them to the mashed bananas.
  5. Add 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 cup of milk (any kind), and 1 large egg to the mixture. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
  6. Grease a 2-quart baking dish. Pour the sweet potato and banana mixture into the prepared dish.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through and lightly browned on top.
