📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat your oven to 350°.
2
Rinse the potatoes. Poke several holes in each with a fork. Keeping the peel on, rub each down with salt then individually wrap in aluminum foil.
3
Once your oven is preheated, place potatoes on the bottom rack and cook until very tender (about ⏱️ 60-90 minutes). When potatoes are so tender that a paring knife immediately slices through them, take them out of the oven. Set aside.
4
Place about a 1/2" slit in your banana's peel. Place on the bottom rack of the oven and bake until the peel is black, about ⏱️ 15 minutes. Remove from oven and scoop fresh into a small bowl.

5
Increase oven temperature to 500°. Take a 9x9 or 13x9 baking dish. Place inside the oven and allow to heat up for ⏱️ 5-10 minutes.
6
Now unwrap your sweet potatoes and slice them in half. Scoop the flesh out into a bowl.
7
Remove baking dish from oven. Add butter and let melt. Then add the cream, cinnamon stick, brown sugar, banana, and sweet potatoes. Use a potato masher, then stir to combine.
