From the COTN Recipe Vault, this recipe has all the simplicity of a traditional casserole, but with a sweet Hispaniola twist!
The sweet potato (or batata) is a popular food with the many Haitian families who live in the Dominican Republic. Dominican sweet
potatoes are generally paler than those found in the U.S., but this recipe can be made with either kind (or even yams).
