Best Baked Sweet Potatoes With Maple Sour Cream Recipes

TWICE BAKED MAPLE BACON SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the sweet potatoes on a foil-lined baking pan. Bake until a paring knife inserted in the center pierces easily, about 1 hour. Cool slightly.

• Halve the sweet potatoes lengthwise. Carefully scoop most of the flesh out into a bowl, leaving enough flesh in the skin so that it holds its shape. Add the bacon, bacon fat, scallions, maple syrup and 1 cup of the cheese to the sweet potato flesh. Stir together and season with salt and pepper to taste. Refill the sweet potato shells and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
• Place the sweet potatoes back in the oven until heated through and the cheese is melted, about 15 minutes. Top with the reserved scallions and dollops of sour cream.
