Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place the sweet potatoes on a parchment-lined baking sheet; bake until tender when pierced with a paring knife, about 45 minutes. Remove from oven; let cool slightly.
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil; fit with a wire rack. Arrange bacon strips on rack, and sprinkle with brown sugar. Cook until well glazed and crisp, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven; let cool slightly, and roughly chop. Set aside.
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add shallots; saute until soft and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add rosemary, and cook 1 minute more. Remove from heat, and set aside.
- Slice each potato in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out flesh, leaving about a 1/4-inch border all around potato halves; set halves aside on a baking sheet.
- Place flesh in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter, reserved shallot mixture, egg, cream, and Gruyere. Mix well until combined. Season with salt and pepper.
- Transfer mixture to a pastry bag fitted with a star tip; pipe into reserved halves. Bake until golden, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven; garnish with Gruyere, rosemary, and reserved bacon.
SAVORY TWICE BAKED SWEET POTATOES
I was looking for an easy dinner that didn't involve a trip to the grocery store, and this is what I came up with based on what I had lying around. This is a pretty nice way to prepare a sweet potato, if you aren't in the mood for something overly sweet. I paired half of a potato with a large serving of steamed spinach for a light but satisfying vegetarian dinner.

- Place potato halves face down on a foil-covered greased cookie sheet ( i cover the potato halves in foil for more even cooking).
- Bake potatoes for about 30 minutes.
- While the potatoes are baking, saute onions and mushrooms in the olive oil over medium heat until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms give off liquid, about 10 minutes.
- Take potatoes out of oven, carefully scoop the potato out of the skins and mash in a mixing bowl.
- Add onions, mushroom, cayenne, feta, salt and pepper to the mashed sweet potatoes, mixing ingredients together.
- Divide mixture in half and scoop it back into the empty potato skins.
- Bake the potatoes for another 8-10 minutes on 375, broiling for the last minute or two of cooking time if you'd like to crisp the tops of the potatoes slightly.
