About Bahamian Potato Bread
Raquel Fox's Bahamian sweet-potato bread uses grated Caribbean sweet potatoes, coconut and flour in a dense baked preparation. Her rendition is seasoned with black pepper and cinnamon, with sugar balancing the earthy potato flavour.
The peeled potatoes are grated raw and mixed with coconut, water, flour and a lard-and-butter mixture. The same fat and a dusting of flour prepare the baking pan.
The mixture bakes as one pan before cooling to a warm serving temperature. Raquel suggests it as an accompaniment to stew or soup, where its sweet, spiced character can complement the savoury meal.
