Coconut Kaukau

We have landed to Papua New Guinea with our food trip.
Today we have on menu baked sweet potatoes or Kaukau´s with coconut cream.
Recipe I have got from this page:

https://www.196flavors.com/papua-new-guinea-coconut-kau-kau/

From this amount you will get 4 portions.

Ingredients:
2 sweet potatoes (Kaukau)
4 tbsp butter
150 g coconut cream
half red onion
2 garlic cloves, crushed
ca 2 cm of ginger, grated
2 tbsp orange juice
salt 
pepper

Rinse the sweet potatoes, then wrap each of them in aluminum foil and place on a plate. Bake in preheated 200 C oven for 1 hour or until cooked through.
Cut sweet potatoes in two lengthwise.
Scoop out about ¾ of the sweet potatoes with a spoon into a bowl.
Add the butter. Add salt and pepper, and mash with a fork to get a smooth purée.
Set the skins of  sweet potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Add the coconut cream, onion, garlic, ginger and orange juice to the mashed sweet potatoes. Mix well.
Fill the hollowed half sweet potatoes with the mashed mixture.
Bake in the oven for another 5 minutes before serving.
