LOADED TWICE-BAKED SWEET POTATOES
They say your greatest strength is also your biggest weakness; the same starchy sweetness that makes this tuber such a popular holiday side dish also can lead to palate fatigue. That's why I've enlisted bacon, lime, jalapeno, green onions, and sharp Cheddar to make these twice-baked sweet potatoes more addictive than in any Thanksgiving past. You can prep them ahead of time and then bake when you're ready to serve.

TWICE BAKED SWEET POTATOES WITH MINI MARSHMALLOWS
I found this in an article by columnist Pam Anderson in USA Weekend (Nov. 14-16, 2003). I made it for Thanksgiving dinner at my mother's house. Since I have have a fairly large family, I decided to double the recipe. Everyone loved it! I will definitely be making this again. It's not complicated and makes a wonderful alternative to ordinary baked potatoes or mashed potatoes. And it has the rare quality of being better the next day! So now you've got something with a bit of zip to go with all of that left-over turkey!
