Sweet Potato Pone

Published Nov 7, 2011

1 ½ cup pounds sweet potato
1 cup brown sugar
2 cups flour
2 cups coconut milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 ½ teaspoon grated nutmeg

I decided that I wanted some fish soup today because it is so cold, and because I have never fixed it before (yes I am Jamaican), it was great to find your website and find this wonderful potato pone recipie as an additional perk. Thanks for taking the time to do this site.

Tried this recipe. Turned out great. I used a little bit more liquid and I also used about 3 table spoons of the grated coconut and replaced half a cup of flour with cornmeal. Thanx
