Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup Hidden Valley® The Original Ranch® Dressing
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup carrots, diced
1 cup pecans, chopped
2 tablespoons brown sugar
4 large sweet potatoes (about the same size so they cook evenly)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Cut potatoes in half lengthwise. Place potatoes cut-side down on a baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Bake for 35-45 minutes until potatoes are soft. Allow to cool enough to handle with oven mitts.
  • Meanwhile, pour the orange juice into a sauce pan over medium heat. Add the diced carrots and cover.
  • Simmer over low heat for 15 minutes until carrots are softened. Remove the carrots from the pan and dump into the bowl of a food processor.
  • With a spoon, scoop out the sweet potatoes-careful to leave the skins to re-stuff. Add the sweet potato meat to the food processor bowl along with the nutmeg, brown sugar and Hidden Valley® The Original Ranch® Dressing. Process for several minutes until well pureed.
  • Re-stuff the potato skins with the potato/carrot puree and bake for another 25 minutes. Garnish with chopped pecans and serve.
