Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

4 baking potatoes
½ onion, diced
½ cup milk
salt and pepper to taste
3 tablespoons butter
1 green bell pepper, seeded and diced
1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
4 tablespoons bacon bits
¼ cup sour cream

Steps:

Cook each potato in the microwave until tender enough to pierce with a fork, about 8 minutes. Allow potatoes to cool, then slice in half lengthwise.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Scoop out the centers of the potato halves, leaving about 1/2 inch of potato in the skin to keep its shape. Place skins on a greased baking sheet and place the scoopings into a bowl. Mash the potato in the bowl with milk, salt, pepper and butter until smooth, or as smooth as you prefer. Stir in the green and red peppers, jalapeno and garlic until evenly distributed. Mound the mixture into the potato skins. Sprinkle cheese and bacon bits over the top.
Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the cheese is starting to toast.

Sun Oven Twice Baked Southwestern Style Sweet Potatoes image

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

4 medium sweet potatoes, scrubbed
2 teaspoons chipotle chilies in adobo (or to taste)
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt

Steps:

Set Sun Oven out to preheat. Lightly coat a baking pan with cooking spray. Place the sweet potatoes in the pan and bake in the Sun Oven until soft, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Remove pan from the Sun Oven. When the potatoes are cool enough to handle cut off the top third of each one. Scoop out all the flesh from the smaller top parts and discard the skin. Scoop out the flesh from the larger parts leaving a 1/2-inch thick layer inside the skins. Place the skins back in the baking pan. Using an electric mixer or food processor, mix the scooped out flesh, chipotle chilies, and salt. Spoon the mixture into the reserved skins. Cover the pan with tin foil and a dark tea towel and bake in the Sun Oven until heated through, 30 to 40 minutes.
