📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Dominica is a volcanic island where breadfruit grows abundantly in yards and on the mountains. Puffs of boiled, mashed breadfruit mixed with onion, green onion, cheese, and more, rolled and fried, are a snack made at home and at stalls. They're crisp outside and fluffy inside. This version uses potatoes.

🌆 Where it's eaten: In a mountain village in Dominica, fruit is knocked down from a big breadfruit tree and balls of dough fry golden in oil in the kitchen.
