Loaded Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Loaded Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes.

1. Step 1

   Begin by preheating your oven to a toasty 400°F (200°C).

2. Step 2

   Arrange the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet, giving them space to breathe.

3. Step 3

   With a sharp knife, prick each potato a few times, then drizzle them generously with olive oil, ensuring an even coat by rubbing it in.

4. Step 4

   Slide the baking sheet into the oven and let the sweet potatoes roast until they’re tender and inviting, which should take about 35 minutes.

5. Step 5

   While the sweet potatoes are transforming in the oven, take a skillet and cook diced bacon over medium heat.

6. Step 6

   Stir it occasionally until it turns crispy and the fat begins to foam, roughly 4 to 5 minutes.

7. Step 7

   Toss in sliced green onions and diced jalapeños, cooking for just another minute before removing the pan from heat.

8. Step 8

   Once the sweet potatoes are cool enough to handle, slice off the top third at a charming 45-degree angle.

9. Step 9

   Gently scoop out the flesh from both the top and bottom halves, leaving about 1/4 inch of sweet potato in the bottoms to form sturdy shells.

10. Step 10

    In a mixing bowl, season the scooped sweet potato flesh with salt, black pepper, and a hint of cayenne for a kick.

11. Step 11

    Fold in 1/2 cup of shredded cheese, a dollop of crème fraîche, and a splash of lime juice, mashing until the mixture is smooth.

12. Step 12

    Finally, incorporate the crispy bacon mixture until everything is harmoniously combined.

13. Step 13

    Spoon this delightful filling back into the sweet potato shells, topping them off with the remaining cheese.

14. Step 14

    Return the stuffed sweet potatoes to the oven and bake until they’re heated through and the tops are beautifully golden, which should take about 20 to 25 minutes.

15. Step 15

    Enjoy the delicious aroma wafting through your kitchen as you await this comforting dish!.
