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.

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.

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.
