SIDE ESSENTIALS: TWICE-BAKED SWEET POTATO HEAVEN
This is a really fun way to bake up some fantastic sweet potatoes. They can be served at your next football party as a snack, or you could have them as a side at your next dinner party. I personally serve a variation of this as one of my sides at Thanksgiving. So, you ready... Let's get into the kitchen.

Steps:
- 1. PREP/PREPARE
- 2. Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
- 3. THE POTATO
- 4. Add a rack to the middle position, and preheat the oven to 400f (205c).
- 5. Wash the sweet potato, and use a paring knife or fork to prick the skin.
- 6. Chef's Note: Pricking the skin of a potato will allow steam to escape; keeping the potato from splitting open during the baking process.
- 7. Brush with a bit of olive oil, and lightly sprinkle with salt.
- 8. Place the potato on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and place in the oven until cooked through, about 20 - 35 minutes; depending on how big your potatoes are.
- 9. Chef's Tip: A potato is cooked through, when a fork or paring knife inserted into the potato goes in without resistance.
- 10. Allow to cool, and then, using a spoon, carefully remove the insides, while leaving the skins intact.
- 11. Mix the sweet potato with the remainder of the ingredients, and add back into the potato skins.
- 12. THE TOPPING
- 13. Add the topping ingredients together.
- 14. Divide between the filled potato skins.
- 15. Return to the preheated oven, and bake for an addition 12 - 15 minutes, or until the tops begin to brown.
- 16. PLATE/PRESENT
- 17. Serve by themselves as a party snack, or as a side at your next dinner party. Enjoy.
- 18. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
- Scrub the sweet potatoes, then pierce all over with the tines of a fork. Place the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until fork-tender, about 50 minutes to 1 hour 15 minutes, depending upon the size of your potatoes. Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and let cool slightly.
- While the potatoes bake, cut the cream cheese and butter into a small dice. Let come to room temperature while the potatoes bake (you can also melt the butter if you prefer).
- Once they are cool enough to handle, carefully cut off the top third of the 4 largest sweet potatoes lengthwise so that you have an open sweet potato boat (reserve the 5th, smallest sweet potato). With a spoon, scoop out the potato flesh from the base and transfer it to a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Leave a thin inner layer of sweet potato flesh lining the inside of the base so that it holds its shape. Scrape the flesh away from the cut tops and discard the peels or save for compost. Return the bases to the same baking sheet.
- Split the final, smallest sweet potato in half and scoop all of the flesh into the food processor. Discard the peel or use it for compost (the extra sweet potato flesh will allow you to impressively fill up the bases).
- To the food processor, add the Greek yogurt, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, black pepper, cayenne pepper, cream cheese, and butter. Process until the ingredients are very well blended and the puree is ultra smooth and light, stopping to scrape down the bowl as needed. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired. (I add a pinch more salt; if you'd like more of a kick, add a bit more cayenne.)
- Generously mound the sweet potato bases with the filling, piling it high (we are going for presentation here!), then sprinkle the pecans evenly over the top.
- Return the sweet potatoes to the oven and bake for 10 minutes, until the pecans are crisp and the filling is heated through. Enjoy warm.
