CREAMY TWICE-BAKED SWEET POTATOES

Creamy Twice-Baked Sweet Potatoes image

I like to make these twice-baked sweet potatoes because they can be prepared ahead of time. With the addition of cream cheese, they are very creamy and not overly sweet. It is so easy to increase the quantity to any number. -Linda Call, Falun, Kansas
