TWICE-BAKED SWEET POTATOES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Lightly scrub the sweet potatoes under cold running water. Place the potatoes on a roasting tray and bake until tender, 1 hour 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow the potatoes to cool slightly before cutting off the top third of the potatoes lengthwise. Scoop out the flesh using a large spoon (leave enough on the base so the skin holds its shape) and reserve bases.
- Add the potato flesh, 2 tablespoons of the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cayenne pepper and butter to a food processor. Process until the ingredients are completely combined and the puree is smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle a roasting tray with a little oil. Set the potato skin bases upright on the tray and fill with the mixture.
- Combine the remaining 3 tablespoons sugar and pecans in a small bowl. Sprinkle the top of each stuffed sweet potato with the sugar-pecan topping. Bake 10 minutes. Finish the potatoes under the broiler for the top to brown, 1 minute, if desired.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Put the potatoes on a baking sheet and rub them with the oil. Bake until soft, about 1 hour. Let cool enough so you can handle them.
- Slice the butter into pats and add to a large bowl. Add the bacon and sour cream.
- Cut each potato in half lengthwise and scrape out the insides into the bowl, being careful not to tear the skins. Leave a small rim of potato intact for support. Lay the hollowed-out skins on a baking sheet.
- Smash the potatoes into the butter, bacon and sour cream. Add the cheese, chili powder, green onions and some salt and pepper and mash until smooth. Spoon the filling into the potato skins.
- If baking right away, lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Bake until the cheese is melted and the tops are brown, about 15 minutes.
- If cooking later, cover the stuffed potato skins with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Bake at 350 degrees F until the cheese is melted and the tops are brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
CREAMY TWICE-BAKED SWEET POTATOES

TWICE BAKED SWEET POTATOES
This creamy sweet potato recipe is a huge hit with everyone. A friend served a version of these at a luncheon, and I absolutely loved it. I found some sweet potatoes in my fridge that I hadn't used and decided to try it. Everyone at work flipped over them! They're great with pork chops or steak, too!

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.

Tips:
- Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for sweet potatoes that are about the same size so that they cook evenly. Sweet potatoes with smooth, unblemished skin are ideal.
- Pierce the potatoes: Before baking the sweet potatoes, pierce them with a fork or knife several times. This will help the steam escape and prevent the potatoes from bursting.
- Microwave or bake the sweet potatoes: You can cook the sweet potatoes in the microwave or in the oven. Microwaving is quicker, but baking gives the potatoes a crispier skin.
- Scoop out the flesh: Once the potatoes are cooked, let them cool slightly before scooping out the flesh. Use a spoon or melon baller to make this task easier.
- Mash the flesh: Mash the sweet potato flesh with a fork or potato masher until smooth. You can also use a food processor or hand mixer to make this process quicker.
- Add your favorite fillings: Once the sweet potato flesh is mashed, you can add your favorite fillings. Popular fillings include butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, pecans, and marshmallows.
- Return the sweet potato mixture to the skins: Once you have added your desired fillings, spoon the sweet potato mixture back into the sweet potato skins.
- Bake the stuffed sweet potatoes: Bake the stuffed sweet potatoes until they are heated through and the filling is bubbly. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes.
Conclusion:
Twice-baked sweet potatoes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or main course. They are perfect for potlucks, holiday dinners, or a weeknight meal.
