Kaukau

Kaukau is a Papuan term that generally refers to a variety of sweet potatoes. The most popular dish made with these sweet potatoes is prepared by baking them, removing the skin, then mashing the sweet potatoes with ingredients such as coconut milk, coconut oil, garlic, ginger, cheese, eggs, or cinnamon. The mashed combination is then typically placed back into the potato skins as a filling and baked again for a short while until the dish is ready for consumption.
