Recipe Introduction
A little restaurant here in Portland used to make these yummy potatoes.
The restaurant is gone, but these potatoes live on in my kitchen.
Wash the plaintain THOROUGHLY, as they are hard to find organic, and are
usually heavily sprayed.
If you have a sweet tooth (like I do), you can use sweetened coconut
flakes, which are easier to find.
List of Ingredients
1 sweet potato
water for boiling
1 teaspoon salt
1 plantain
3 small potatoes, preferably yukon gold
1 clove of garlic, papery skin & ends removed
juice of 1 lime
1/4 cup shredded, unsweetened dried coconut
salt (to taste)
hot sauce (to taste)Recipe
Wash sweet potato and roast in 350 degree oven, about 1 hour, until
tender. Remove and allow to cool. Peel.
Wash plantain and cut off ends. Score peel on plantain but do not try to
remove. Cut in thirds. Peel potatoes and quarter; place in saucepan with
garlic clove, salt and plaintain. Cover with water and place over high
heat, until water comes to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes
are soft--about 30 minutes.
Remove plantain, potatoes and garlic from saucepan, reserving the
cooking liquid. Carefully remove plantain's peel, which should be soft
and flexible by now, and place all the veggies, including the cooled,
peeled sweet potato, in a mixing bowl. Add lime juice. Mash well, adding
the reserved cooking liquid, until the potatoes and plantain are well
mixed and fluffy. Fold in coconut and season to taste with salt and hot
sauce.
