Twice Baked Sweet Potato on a plate

Twice Baked Sweet Potato With Bacon And Cheese

Julia | The Yummy Bowl
What can be better than baked potato? Baked and stuffed sweet potato! Think layers of melty cheese, bacon and freshly sliced green onion baked until perfection. A foodie dream come true. Sweet potatoes are great not only during holiday season. They are versatile - bake them, roast them in air fryer, make fries and casseroles.

INGREDIENTS
  

  • 3 sweet potatoes, medium
  • 8 slices bacon
  • 2 tablespoon sour cream
  • 3-4 stalks green onion, sliced
  • Sea salt , to taste
  • Black pepper , to taste
  • 1 ½ teaspoon sweet paprika
  • ¾ cup gruyere, shredded gruyere, cheddar, gouda, mozzarella (I used gryere and sharp cheddar)

INSTRUCTIONS
 

  • Preheat oven to 380 F.
  • Wash the potatoes with cold water and scrub (necessary step as we leave the skins on) and dry the potatoes with a paper towel or clean kitchen towel.
  • Place the potatoes on a baking dish, baking tray, or sheet pan, lined with foil or parchment paper. Pierce small holes with a large fork or a knife all around the potatoes. (4-5 places is enough).
  • Massage the potatoes with a little oil, season with salt and pepper.
  • Bake 50-70 minutes.
  • Let cool to touch. Cut about ¼ off of the top lengthwise and scoop out the sweet potato flesh. Don’t get too close to the skin.
  • Potato filling. Transfer the sweet potatoes into a large bowl and mash potatoes until your desired consistency. Mash it with a fork, potato masher or for creamy texture in a food processor or with using hand mixer. I like to leave it a bit chunky.
  • Top with bacon, half of cheese, green onions, paprika, salt, pepper, sour cream (or you can use cream cheese). Combine all with a spoon and spoon back into the potato skins. Top with remaining cheese and pop back in to the oven until cheese melts (5-10minutes).
  • Garnish with crumbled bacon and sliced green onions.
