Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes

November 23, 2013Bacon (No Added Nitrates), Onion, Spinach, Sweet Potato Standard

 

A guest post from our customer Sherri! 

 

Hello! It’s Sherri again and I’m really excited to share with you this new recipe!

 

Traditionally sweet potatoes have been sweetened– covered in sugar and marshmallows (which is delicious)– or they often take on a Mexican flare with spices like chipotle pepper (which is also delicious), but I really wanted to try to make a savory sweet potato dish that didn’t use a lot of heat. I wanted something that was more reminiscent of a traditional loaded baked potato. I had to be creamy, full of delicious goodies and topped with crispy bacon without any one thing being overpowering. I think I did it! I hope you like this as much as I do!

What You Need:

• 2 medium sweet potatoes
• 3 slices of bacon
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 cup of spinach, sautéed
• 2-3 TBSP sour cream (more if you want it extra creamy)
• Optional: cheese or egg

Preheat the oven to 350F

Cook your (washed and scrubbed) sweet potatoes in the oven for about an hour or until fork tender.

While they are cooking, prepare your “filling”. Cook the bacon in a sauté pan over medium heat. Once they are done, put them on some paper towels to remove excess oil.

Cook the chopped onions in the bacon fat until they are almost translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for about one minute more or until fragrant. Now add the spinach. Sauté the spinach over medium heat with the onion mixture, stirring frequently. Once the spinach has wilted, remove from the heat.

Chop your bacon and add some into the spinach mixture, but reserve some of the crispiest pieces to put on the top of the sweet potato.

Once the potatoes have finished baking (and cooled enough to handle), use a spoon to remove the insides of the potatoes. But careful to keep some of the filling intact near the “wall” of the potato so the sides don’t completely collapse.

Put the insides of the potato in a bowl and either use a fork or a potato masher to squash them until there are no solid pieces left. Add the sour cream and the spinach mixture and stir to combine.

Refill the potatoes with the mixture and top them with the crispy bacon, and cheese if desired. Pop them back into the oven at 350F for 5-10 minutes to warm them up and melt the cheese.

This great as a side dish or a main dish. And if you have leftovers, this is great served with a fried egg on top for breakfast! Yummy!
