SWEET POTATO BREAD (PAIN PATATE)
This bread is flavorful and very moist. As Peggy said, this could be called a pudding. I used the coconut milk/evaporated milk combination which I think added to the flavors. The spices are spot on. This is a really enjoyable dessert!

Steps:
- 1. Generously grease a 9-x5-inch loaf pan and set aside
- 2. In a large pan, mix grated potatoes with whole milk and evaporated milk. Mix in cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt, then bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook uncovered for 15-20 minutes, scraping bottom of the pan often to prevent potatoes from sticking.
- 3. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- 4. Add sugar, vanilla, raisins, molasses, banana (if using), and margarine to potato mixture. Continue to cook uncovered over medium heat for about 5 additional minutes, scraping bottom of the pan almost constantly. Mixture should be very thick.
- 5. Pour in the prepared pan. Cover the pan with aluminum foil, and place it in large baking dish. Put hot water in the baking dish halfway to the top of the pan and bake in the middle of the preheated oven for 3 three hours.
- 6. Check water level every 30 minutes, and add hot water to the baking dish when necessary. Cool, loosely covered, in the pan at room temperature.
- 7. Refrigerate to cool completely. To unmold, gently shake the pan to loosen the desert, and overturn onto a serving dish.
- 8. *Pain Patate can be made in a 6 cup pudding mold or individually in ramekins.*

Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. 2. Grate sweet potatoes into mixing bowl and mash the banana into sweet potatoes. 3. Add all ingredients (except 1 tbsp brown sugar) mixing each ingredient at a time until each ingredient is fully blended into the mix. 4. Spread evenly into 9x13 inch baking pan and sprinkle remaining 1tbspn brown sugar over the top of the pudding. 5. Bake for 1 1/2 hour or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
Tips:
- Choose the right sweet potatoes: For the best flavor and texture, use firm, brightly colored sweet potatoes that are free of blemishes.
- Prick the sweet potatoes: Before baking, prick the sweet potatoes all over with a fork. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from bursting.
- Bake the sweet potatoes until tender: The sweet potatoes are done baking when they are soft when pierced with a fork. The baking time will vary depending on the size of the potatoes, so check them regularly.
- Let the sweet potatoes cool: Allow the sweet potatoes to cool slightly before handling them. This will help prevent them from breaking apart.
- Mash the sweet potatoes: Use a fork or potato masher to mash the sweet potatoes until smooth. You can also use a food processor, but be careful not to over-process the potatoes, or they will become gluey.
- Add the remaining ingredients: Once the sweet potatoes are mashed, add the remaining ingredients and mix until well combined. You can adjust the amount of sugar, spices, and vanilla extract to taste.
- Bake the bread: Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan and bake according to the recipe instructions. The bread is done baking when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool: Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help it hold its shape better.
