Pom is a dish that should not be missing from any Surinamese party. This is a casserole consisting of pomtajer (a type of root or earth fruit) with chicken and various herbs. The pomtajer is peeled and then grated, processed with spicy prepared chicken, mixed with the pomtajer and then baked in the oven.
Cut the potatoes into thin pieces (note: do not cut everything all the way through, the bottom must remain together!).
Mix the Caribbean butter mix in a mixer, together with butter or low-fat margarine. Mix until smooth.
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees.
Place the butter mix in a pan over a low heat until the butter mix melts.
Coat the sliced potatoes with the butter mix.
Grease the baking dish and place the seasoned potatoes in it.
If necessary, add sea salt to taste.
Bake the potatoes in the oven for 40-45 minutes.
Enjoy your meal!
