Jacket Sweet Potatoes
Sweet Potatoes baked like jacket potatoes and topped with sour cream and chives or other favorite sauces and toppings.
Ingredients
- 4 large sweet potatoes
- Salt and pepper
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/2 bunch scallions finely chopped
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 400 F.
- Scrub the sweet potatoes and stab them with a fork a few times. Lay them on a baking sheet. Bake for 60 to 75 minutes. Because sweet potatoes vary greatly in size, check them after an hour by stabbing with a long knife. If it goes through easily, they're ready. If not, bake longer. Let cool for 15 minutes.
- Make a long cut along the top of each potato and open them gently, beating with a fork to fluff up the soft, orange middle. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Let each person add sour cream and scallions (or more salt and pepper) to their taste.
Notes
Try this with other toppings! Go classic with bacon and cheddar or broccoli and cheddar, or leftover pasta sauces. Or sweeten it up further with brown sugar or maple syrup for a dessert-like experience.
