Baked Sweet Potato Skins image

This is a slight variation on the classic game day loaded sweet potato skins. This is one of my original recipes, and a favorite for big games in the fall and winter.

Time 1h40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 sweet potatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil
¼ teaspoon hot chili powder
¼ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pinch salt
1 link spicy chorizo, casings removed and discarded
2 cups grated Chihuahua cheese
¼ cup finely chopped green onions
¼ cup green salsa, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Prick sweet potatoes several times with a fork and place onto a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from oven, leaving oven on. Let potatoes cool 10 minutes.
  • Cut cooled sweet potatoes lengthwise and scoop out the middle until 1/4-inch of potato skin is left.
  • Mix olive oil, hot chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, pepper, and salt together in a small bowl. Brush all sides of sweet potatoes with oil mixture.
  • Bake in the hot oven until crisp, about 15 minutes, turning as necessary.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir chorizo in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer chorizo to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Mix cheese and green onions together in a small bowl and place mixture into the wells of the sweet potato skins. Sprinkle chorizo bits over tops.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Serve warm with green salsa for dipping.
