Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes are a delicious and satisfying side dish that elevates the humble sweet potato into a flavorful and creamy treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 4 medium sweet potatoes, scrubbed clean
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

Seasoning:

  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Optional Toppings:

  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Milk or cream, as needed for consistency

Instructions

  1. Initial Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Pierce the sweet potatoes several times with a fork and place them on a baking sheet. Bake until tender, about 1 hour.
  2. Prepare the Filling: Cut the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh, leaving a thin layer to maintain the skins’ structure. In a bowl, mash the sweet potato flesh with butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until smooth. Add a splash of milk or cream if the mixture is too thick. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Stuff the Skins: Spoon the mixture back into the sweet potato skins. If desired, top with a dollop of sour cream or sprinkle with additional brown sugar or cinnamon for extra flavor.
  4. Final Bake: Return the stuffed sweet potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the tops are lightly browned and the filling is heated through.
  5. Serve: Enjoy the twice baked sweet potatoes warm, with additional toppings if desired.
