Twice Baked Sweet Potato on a plate

Twice Baked Sweet Potato With Bacon And Cheese

Julia
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.
