Hi! I'm making Camotillo, which is a Peruvian sweet potato dessert. I need to write a short paragraph on it. I've been scouring the the web, and I can't find much info on it, except that it's from Peru. I need to know which region of Peru it's from, when it's typically eaten, and any info about traditions associated with this dessert. I've tried a few search engines, and many key words. Please help! Thank you so much in advance!

Answer:
camotillo is not only from Peru or from a specific region, we have camotillo in Bolivia and most of the valley and Andes cities have this potato in their diets!
I like them baked with marshmallows and Cinnamon in the top.
You just boil them (2 pound), smash the boiled camotillos, mix them with 1/2 cup of heavy cream, dash of orange peal a dash of salt, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, sugar to taste ( I like splenda better) a dash of nutmeg . Mix all the ingredients, and bake them in a 300 F oven for 45 min topped with marshmallows and ground Cinnamon. Broil the top for a bit before serving!
this dish is not only great as dessert but it is a good side for roasted meats. some kind of sweet mashed potatoes dish.
Camotillos are harvested in the fall season before the "helada" or cold front side , because they are very sensitive to cold weather. They are originally from medium - high valley region. They can last for a long time if stored properly.
Natives bake them underground together with the main dish , generally a big lamb, for saints parties with potatoes, oca ( another kind of sweet potato ) and vegetables in a plate named "Wattiah" that is actually delicious.
There is a movie named " the devil's miner" from Bolivia that actually shows how they cook that dish with a llama. ( you can get it at amazon)
Check out in the encyclopedia Potatoes, sweet potatoes and yams.

All the potatoes we eat sweet or regular come from that part of the world. Peru is not a real large nation but it is very high up in the mountains.

No the potato did not come from Ireland. Before the Americas were discovered no one knew abut potatoes and many other things we eat.
