Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Put the potatoes on a baking sheet and rub them with the oil. Bake until soft, about 1 hour. Let cool enough so you can handle them.
- Slice the butter into pats and add to a large bowl. Add the bacon and sour cream.
- Cut each potato in half lengthwise and scrape out the insides into the bowl, being careful not to tear the skins. Leave a small rim of potato intact for support. Lay the hollowed-out skins on a baking sheet.
- Smash the potatoes into the butter, bacon and sour cream. Add the cheese, chili powder, green onions and some salt and pepper and mash until smooth. Spoon the filling into the potato skins.
- If baking right away, lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Bake until the cheese is melted and the tops are brown, about 15 minutes.
- If cooking later, cover the stuffed potato skins with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Bake at 350 degrees F until the cheese is melted and the tops are brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Place potatoes on a baking sheet and bake in the oven until soft, 45 to 50 minutes. Remove the potatoes from the oven and let rest 5 minutes. Slice potatoes in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the flesh, being careful not to damage the skin. Rice the flesh in a ricer set over a bowl.
- Bring the heavy cream and chipotle puree to a simmer over low heat in a small saucepan. Stir the warm cream, butter, creme fraiche and 1/2 cup of the maple syrup into the sweet potato mixture until combined. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Spray the baking dish with cooking spray. Fill each of the skins with the cream mixture, place back on the baking sheet and bake until golden brown. Remove the potatoes to a platter and drizzle the tops of each with the remaining maple syrup.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Lightly scrub the sweet potatoes under cold running water. Place the potatoes on a roasting tray and bake until tender, 1 hour 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow the potatoes to cool slightly before cutting off the top third of the potatoes lengthwise. Scoop out the flesh using a large spoon (leave enough on the base so the skin holds its shape) and reserve bases.
- Add the potato flesh, 2 tablespoons of the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cayenne pepper and butter to a food processor. Process until the ingredients are completely combined and the puree is smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle a roasting tray with a little oil. Set the potato skin bases upright on the tray and fill with the mixture.
- Combine the remaining 3 tablespoons sugar and pecans in a small bowl. Sprinkle the top of each stuffed sweet potato with the sugar-pecan topping. Bake 10 minutes. Finish the potatoes under the broiler for the top to brown, 1 minute, if desired.
