EASY TWICE-BAKED SWEET POTATOES

Our take on the beloved mini-marshmallow-topped casserole calls for baking and mashing sweet potatoes, then returning them to their jackets and baking again with pecans and marshmallows. Everyone will adore having their own at Thanksgiving.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 9

14 (each about 8 ounces) sweet potatoes
1/2 cup sour cream
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature, plus 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
1 3/4 cups packed light-brown sugar
4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2/3 cup pecans, toasted, coarsely chopped
40 large marshmallows, halved crosswise

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prick sweet potatoes with a fork. Bake until soft, about 50 minutes. Let cool slightly on a rack.
  • Cut a lengthwise slit in potatoes almost all the way through, leaving about 1 inch at each end intact. Scoop out flesh, leaving a 1/2-inch border on skins. Put flesh in a medium nonreactive bowl, then transfer half to a food processor. Process until smooth; return to bowl. Stir in sour cream, 6 tablespoons softened butter, 1 cup brown sugar, lemon juice, and nutmeg. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees. Transfer sweet potato mixture in batches to a pastry bag fitted with a very large round tip. Pipe mixture into 12 of the potato shells, dividing evenly; discard remaining 2 shells. Filled shells can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 1 day. Just before serving, top with remaining 3/4 cup brown sugar, the sliced butter, and pecans; arrange marshmallows on top. Bake on a rimmed baking sheet until hot and marshmallows are golden brown, 7 to 10 minutes.

TWICE BAKED SWEET POTATOES



Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes image

Sweet potatoes are oh so healthy. The drawback is when people add all the junk. So how could I make something a little more dressed up that plain old baked sweet potatoes, but healthier than a sweet potato pie. This is what will grace our Thanksgiving Table this year.

Categories     Yam/Sweet Potato

Time 2h

Yield 6 potatoes, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 small sweet potatoes
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon coriander
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 cup maple syrup, the REAL stuff
2/3 cup craisins
12 -18 pecans, divided

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450F.
  • Wash each sweet potato well. Pierce each potato with a knife a couple of times on the top. Double-wrap each potato individually in foil.
  • Bake for 45-60 minutes. The potatoes should be completely cooked, but not mushy.

  • Stuff the stuffing back into the 'taters.
  • Top off with Craisins and 2-3 pecans.
  • Toast in a 350F oven for 15 minutes.

SAVORY TWICE-BAKED SWEET POTATOES

3 medium sweet potatoes (1 1/2 to 2 pounds), scrubbed well
4 ounces smoked bacon, sliced

1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary, plus more for garnish
1 large egg
2 tablespoons heavy cream
2 ounces Gruyere cheese, finely grated, plus more for garnish

Categories     Yam/Sweet Potato

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 large sweet potato
3 tablespoons butter, divided
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon olive oil
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400-degrees F.
  • Wash the sweet potato and rub it all over with the olive oil. Poke it a couple of times on TOP with a fork so that it doesn't blow up while baking. Do NOT wrap it in aluminum foil! Bake in the oven at 400-degrees F. for about one hour.
  • In a small bowl, melt the butter in the microwave for a few seconds, reserving two slices for topping later, and then blend in the brown sugar.
  • When the potato has baked to the point that the pulp is tender, and after it has cooled a bit, carefully cut out the top and scoop out the pulp into a medium mixing bowl. Save the intact potato skin! Mash the potato pulp with a fork and add in the butter/brown sugar mix.
  • Spoon the potato pulp back into the potato skin and top with the two slices of butter, the sugar, and the cinnamon.
  • Place the potato on a cookie sheet and BROIL on high for about 6 minutes. Watch it carefully so that it doesn't burn the top.
  • Serve hot.

###
Tips
###
  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, smooth sweet potatoes with no blemishes or bruises. Russet or garnet sweet potatoes are good choices for baking.
  • Prick the potatoes before baking: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from bursting.
  • Bake the potatoes until they are tender: This will usually take about 45 minutes to 1 hour. You can check for doneness by inserting a fork or knife into the center of the potato. If it goes in easily, the potato is done.
  • Let the potatoes cool slightly before handling: This will help prevent them from falling apart.
  • Scoop out the potato flesh, leaving a thin shell: Be careful not to scoop out too much flesh, or the potatoes will be too thin and flimsy.
  • Mash the potato flesh with butter, milk, and seasonings: You can also add other ingredients, such as cheese, bacon, or nuts.
  • Fill the potato shells with the mashed potato mixture: Make sure to pack the mixture in tightly so that the potatoes hold their shape.
  • Bake the potatoes again until heated through: This will usually take about 15-20 minutes.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately, topped with your favorite garnishes: Some popular garnishes include butter, sour cream, chives, or bacon bits.
###
Conclusion
### Twice-baked sweet potatoes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or main course.
