Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 9

14 (each about 8 ounces) sweet potatoes
1/2 cup sour cream
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature, plus 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
1 3/4 cups packed light-brown sugar
4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

40 large marshmallows, halved crosswise

  • Cut a lengthwise slit in potatoes almost all the way through, leaving about 1 inch at each end intact. Scoop out flesh, leaving a 1/2-inch border on skins. Put flesh in a medium nonreactive bowl, then transfer half to a food processor. Process until smooth; return to bowl. Stir in sour cream, 6 tablespoons softened butter, 1 cup brown sugar, lemon juice, and nutmeg. Season with salt and pepper.

Just before serving, top with remaining 3/4 cup brown sugar, the sliced butter, and pecans; arrange marshmallows on top. Bake on a rimmed baking sheet until hot and marshmallows are golden brown, 7 to 10 minutes.

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 large baking potatoes
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup milk
4 tablespoons butter

3/4 cup grated cheese, divided

  • Feel free to experiment with different flavor combinations for the filling. Some popular options include cheese, bacon, herbs, and spices.
