Steps:
- IN THE OVEN: Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Using a fork, poke holes in sweet potatoes. Lightly coat potatoes with cooking spray, sprinkle with kosher salt, and place on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment. Bake in the oven for approximately 50 minutes or until done.
- IN THE AIR FRYER: Prep the potatoes by poking holes using a fork. Lightly coat potatoes with cooking spray, sprinkle with kosher salt, and place in the basket of the air fryer. Set air fryer temperature to 400 and cook 45 minutes or until fork-tender.
- Once potatoes are cooked, let them cool completely. Using a sharp knife, cut an oval on the top of each potato. Remove top and discard. Scoop out the cooked potato, leaving a wall around the edge of the inside of the potato. Place the scooped cooked potato into a medium-size bowl.
- Add butter, brown sugar, sour cream, salt, and cinnamon to sweet potatoes. Using a hand mixer or potato masher, whip all the ingredients until smooth. Spoon mixture back into each potato.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place stuffed potatoes on a baking sheet and place in oven. Bake for 10 minutes, until hot. If desired, broil for 1 - 2 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove potatoes from the oven, place one pat of butter on each potato and sprinkle on toasted pecans. Enjoy!

LOADED TWICE-BAKED SWEET POTATOES
They say your greatest strength is also your biggest weakness; the same starchy sweetness that makes this tuber such a popular holiday side dish also can lead to palate fatigue. That's why I've enlisted bacon, lime, jalapeno, green onions, and sharp Cheddar to make these twice-baked sweet potatoes more addictive than in any Thanksgiving past. You can prep them ahead of time and then bake when you're ready to serve.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Place sweet potatoes on a baking sheet. Prick with a knife and drizzle with olive oil; rub to coat. Space sweet potatoes evenly apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven until completely tender, about 35 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add bacon to a pan over medium heat. Cook and stir until bacon starts to get crispy and the fat turns foamy, 4 to 5 minutes. Add green onions and jalapeno; cook and stir for 1 minute. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Let sweet potatoes cool until safe to handle. Leave the oven on. Cut off the top 1/3 of each potato, holding the knife at a 45-degree angle. Scoop out sweet potato flesh from both the top and bottom halves, leaving at least 1/4 inch flesh in the bottoms to make the shells.
- Season the sweet potato flesh with salt, pepper, and cayenne. Add 1/2 cup cheese, creme fraiche, and lime juice. Mash with a potato masher. Add the bacon mixture and mix until combined. Spoon filling into the sweet potato shells. Lightly scatter remaining cheese on top.
- Bake until heated through and tops have started to brown, 20 to 25 minutes.

TWICE BAKED SWEET POTATOES
This creamy sweet potato recipe is a huge hit with everyone. A friend served a version of these at a luncheon, and I absolutely loved it. I found some sweet potatoes in my fridge that I hadn't used and decided to try it. Everyone at work flipped over them! They're great with pork chops or steak, too!

CREAMY TWICE-BAKED SWEET POTATOES
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
