The bananas are what give this dish its tropical taste. Be sure to remove any brown spots from the
bananas before slicing them. For a
little spice add a chopped Serrano pepper in with the onions and garlic. Because sweet potatoes differ so much in size
only use enough to make a single layer over the onions and garlic.
