How to Make Pain Patate

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. Peel and grate 2 pounds of white sweet potatoes (boniatas). Mash 2 ripe medium bananas into the grated sweet potatoes.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the sweet potato mixture with 1 cup of milk, 1/2 cup of sugar, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared 9x13 inch baking pan and spread evenly.
  5. Bake for 90-100 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. (Baking time may vary depending on your oven.)
  6. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
  7. Serve warm. For an extra special touch, top with whipped cream or a drizzle of rum syrup.
