TWICE BAKED SWEET POTATOES WITH MINI MARSHMALLOWS
I found this in an article by columnist Pam Anderson in USA Weekend (Nov. 14-16, 2003). I made it for Thanksgiving dinner at my mother's house. Since I have have a fairly large family, I decided to double the recipe. Everyone loved it! I will definitely be making this again. It's not complicated and makes a wonderful alternative to ordinary baked potatoes or mashed potatoes. And it has the rare quality of being better the next day! So now you've got something with a bit of zip to go with all of that left-over turkey!

Steps:
- Adjust oven rack to low position and heat oven to 400°F.
- Place potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.
- Bake until fork tender, about 45 to 60 minutes.
- Let cool slightly.
- Handling the potatoes with a potholder, slice each in half lengthwise and scoop potato flesh into a blender or food processor-- for an especially silky texture, use the blender-- leaving a 1/4-inch border of flesh to support the potato skin.
- Puree scooped-out flesh, along with salt and pepper, until smooth.
- With machine motor running, gradually add both milks through feeder tube.
- Stop machine, add butter, then process until potatoes are silky smooth.
- (Puree and potato shells can be cooled, then refrigerated in an airtight container, up to 2 days. Return to room temperature before proceeding.) Spoon puree back into each shell.
- Just before baking, press marshmallows into potatoes.
- Bake at 400°F until potatoes are hot and marshmallows are golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.
TWICE-BAKED SWEET POTATOES WITH BROWNED BUTTER AND TOASTED MARSHMALLOWS
These individual sweet potatoes are great for Thanksgiving, or any time of year. I browned the butter to add a nutty flavor, plus added some cayenne pepper for a kick.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Rub olive oil onto the outside of each sweet potato and sprinkle sea salt over each. Arrange sweet potatoes on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a sharp knife easily pierces the potato, 50 to 60 minutes. Cool sweet potatoes until easily handled, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat until solids begin to brown and smell nutty, 5 to 8 minutes.
- Slice potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop insides into a large bowl. Add browned butter, cream cheese, 1/2 teaspoon salt, cayenne pepper, and black pepper and mash using a potato masher until smooth. Spoon mixture back into the sweet potato skins and top each with 1/4 cup marshmallows. Place sweet potatoes back onto the baking sheet.
- Bake in the oven until warmed through and marshmallows are toasted, about 10 minutes.

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
