Twice Baked Maple Bacon Sweet Potatoes image

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h35m

Yield 4 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 medium sweet potatoes of similar shape
4 strips bacon
3 scallions, chopped, 2 tablespoons reserved for garnish
2 tablespoons maple syrup
4 ounces smoked Cheddar, shredded (about 1 1/4 cups)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Sour cream, for garnish

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.
  • Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat until crisp and brown, about 7 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel lined plate to drain. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat. Crumble bacon.
  • 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.
