Made with 4 plantains and 2 sweet potatoes; Dominican picadillo; and white cheddar. I used the mashed sweet potatoes for the bottom layer (instead of plantain). This is pretty good, but a bit too sweet because of the slightly overly large plantain top layer. The plantains I used were also very, very ripe, which likely contributed.
