There’s a traditional way to prepare causa, and we have already seen it. But we also need time for our work schedules, meetings, family and friends.

The sweet potato is, in an unmerited way, not so popular as the potato - well, it’s easier to combine the potato with a bigger number of dishes, but if we want to prepare a dessert, we’ll have here a great allied. This dish is very easy to prepare and its ingredients are well known. Surprise your family with this recipe for 6 people.

It’s curious: in the land where the potato was born, we have been prefering the rice as the main accompaniment. Well, things are changing due the rise of the rice price (rhyme!) and the peruvian government has begun a campaign to promote the consume of potatos (“Papea Perú”) in the International Year of the Potato. Oh, the recipe! you’ll enjoy this fabulous dish for 4 people.
