Pan de camote

Hailing from Guatemala, pan de camote is a type of sweet bread that is made with sweet potatoes. Although a traditional specialty of the Izabal region, it's also prepared in Peru. Apart from the sweet potatoes, the bread typically contains flour, butter, sugar, salt, yeast, and water, and it is usually brushed with eggs before baking. Some versions also call for the addition of cow's milk or coconut milk to the dough, while others use vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, or even nuts to enhance the flavor. The sweet potato mixture is usually baked as a rectangular loaf, although it can also be shaped into small buns.
