Packed with vitamin A, roasted sweet potatoes are creamy, delicious and have more fiber and less starch than their pale cousins. Here, I load sweet potato skins with smoky Gouda cheese, sour cream, scallions and parsley. It's a very versatile recipe so feel free to play with the filling and topping ingredients.

Time 1h50m

Yield 4 main course servings or 8 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 large sweet potatoes, scrubbed and pierced several times with the tines of a fork
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup shredded smoked Gouda cheese (about 4 ounces)
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1 cup sour cream
4 scallions, chopped
Parsley or other soft herbs, such as cilantro or basil, chopped, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Roast the potatoes on a baking sheet until they can be easily pierced with a fork, 40 to 50 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit until cool enough to handle. Leave the oven on for the final bake.
  • Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise. Using a metal spoon, scoop out 3/4 of the potato flesh into a medium bowl, leaving the skins protected by a layer of potato. Put the potato shells skin-side down on the baking sheet.
  • Mash the potato filling in the bowl then stir in the butter, smoked gouda and smoked paprika. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Divide the filling equally among the potato skins and return to the oven for 10 minutes.
  • Remove the potatoes and top with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of scallions, freshly cracked black pepper and chopped parsley.
