Time 1h45m

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 sweet potatoes
3 tablespoons canola oil
1 stick (8 tablespoons) butter
1 cup chopped crisp-cooked bacon
1 cup sour cream
2 cups grated jack cheese
2 teaspoons chili powder
3 green onions, sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

  • 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.

TWICE-BAKED SWEET POTATOES

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 medium-size sweet potatoes
5 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Pinch cayenne pepper
1/2 stick unsalted butter
Vegetable oil, for greasing roasting tray
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup chopped pecans

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.

TWICE BAKED SWEET POTATOES

These easy twice baked sweet potatoes are creamy and fluffy with a crunchy pecan top. Sweet and savory, they are more healthy than most!

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Side Dish

Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 small/medium sweet potatoes (about 8 to 10 ounces each)
2 ounces reduced fat cream cheese
2 ounces unsalted butter
1 (5-ounce) container vanilla nonfat Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/3 cup chopped untoasted (raw) pecans

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.

LOADED TWICE-BAKED SWEET POTATOES



Loaded Twice-Baked Sweet Potatoes image

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.

4 orange-fleshed sweet potatoes
½ tablespoon olive oil
1 (8 ounce) package bacon, diced
⅓ cup sliced green onions
¼ cup diced jalapeno peppers
salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste
cayenne pepper to taste
½ cup shredded sharp white Cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons creme fraiche
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons shredded sharp white Cheddar cheese, or to taste

  • Season the sweet potato flesh with salt, pepper, and cayenne. Add 1/2 cup cheese, creme fraiche, and lime juice. Mash with a potato masher. Add the bacon mixture and mix until combined. Spoon filling into the sweet potato shells. Lightly scatter remaining cheese on top.
