BAKED SWEET POTATO AND CREAM CHEESE
Squacquerone is an amazing cream cheese made by my friend Patricia. When eaten with the baked sweet potato and dressed with the chili etc, this makes a great supper that is really quick to make. I buy my squacquerone from my friend Patricia at La Fromagerie. If you do not have somebody who makes this, you can make your own. To make 450m / 15 fluid ounces, you take 170ml / 6 fluid ounces of the coldest, best cream cheese you can buy and mix with a tablespoon of cold creme fraiche, 2 large tablespoons of cold buttermilk, 3 large tablespoons of cold untreated organic natural yogurt, the juice of 1 lemon and sea salt to taste. Mix this up, cover the bowl and keep at the bottom of the refrigerator to mature for a minimum of 24 hours. This is best matured for 3 days, and will have a shelf life of 6 days. Amazing stuff.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C/400 degrees F/gas mark 6.
- Wash the sweet potatoes, prick them with a sharp knife, then sprinkle with a little sea salt. Bake them on the top shelf of the oven for about 50 minutes until soft.
- Mix the chili and spring onion together. To serve the potatoes, make a cut in each potato and open out on a plate. Spoon on some of the cheese, sprinkle on the chili mix, then a handful of rocket, a very fine grating of lemon, sea salt, pepper, a drizzle of olive oil and finally a squeeze of lemon juice on each one. Delicious and so easy.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
- Scrub the sweet potatoes, then pierce all over with the tines of a fork. Place the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until fork-tender, about 50 minutes to 1 hour 15 minutes, depending upon the size of your potatoes. Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and let cool slightly.
- While the potatoes bake, cut the cream cheese and butter into a small dice. Let come to room temperature while the potatoes bake (you can also melt the butter if you prefer).
- Once they are cool enough to handle, carefully cut off the top third of the 4 largest sweet potatoes lengthwise so that you have an open sweet potato boat (reserve the 5th, smallest sweet potato). With a spoon, scoop out the potato flesh from the base and transfer it to a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Leave a thin inner layer of sweet potato flesh lining the inside of the base so that it holds its shape. Scrape the flesh away from the cut tops and discard the peels or save for compost. Return the bases to the same baking sheet.
- Split the final, smallest sweet potato in half and scoop all of the flesh into the food processor. Discard the peel or use it for compost (the extra sweet potato flesh will allow you to impressively fill up the bases).
- To the food processor, add the Greek yogurt, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, black pepper, cayenne pepper, cream cheese, and butter. Process until the ingredients are very well blended and the puree is ultra smooth and light, stopping to scrape down the bowl as needed. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired. (I add a pinch more salt; if you'd like more of a kick, add a bit more cayenne.)
- Generously mound the sweet potato bases with the filling, piling it high (we are going for presentation here!), then sprinkle the pecans evenly over the top.
- Return the sweet potatoes to the oven and bake for 10 minutes, until the pecans are crisp and the filling is heated through. Enjoy warm.

Tips:
- Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes that are about the same size so they cook evenly.
- Prick the sweet potatoes before baking: This helps the steam escape and prevents the potatoes from bursting.
- Bake the sweet potatoes until they are tender: You can check this by inserting a fork or knife into the center of a potato. If it goes in easily, the potato is done.
- Let the sweet potatoes cool slightly before topping them: This will help prevent the topping from melting too quickly.
- Use a variety of toppings: The cream cheese topping in this recipe is delicious, but you can also try other toppings such as brown sugar, butter, marshmallows, or nuts.
Conclusion:
Sweet potatoes with cream cheese topping is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you are serving it for a weeknight dinner or a holiday feast, this dish is sure to be a hit. So next time you are looking for a new way to enjoy sweet potatoes, give this recipe a try.
