Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 medium sweet potatoes
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup milk*
1/4 teaspoon salt
ground black pepper, to taste
1 cup shredded cheese (I use half sharp cheddar and half mozzarella)
4 strips bacon, cooked until crispy, and crumbled
for serving: sour cream and chopped chives

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Pierce each sweet potato a few times and bake for 40-50 minutes or until soft. Allow the potatoes to cool slightly. Slice potatoes in half lengthwise.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 375°F (191°C). Scoop out sweet potato flesh, leaving a thin layer of sweet potato inside, and add flesh to a medium bowl. Place skins back on the baking sheet face up, drizzle with olive oil and bake for 10 minutes.
  • Mash the sweet potato flesh with milk, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. After 10 minutes, remove the skins from the oven. Fill each with an equal amount of mashed sweet potato and top each with cheese. Bake for 15 minutes until the cheese is melted. Remove from the oven and top with bacon. Serve with sour cream and chopped chives, if desired.

LOADED SWEET POTATO SKINS



Loaded Sweet Potato Skins image

Packed with vitamin A, roasted sweet potatoes are creamy, delicious and have more fiber and less starch than their pale cousins. Here, I load sweet potato skins with smoky Gouda cheese, sour cream, scallions and parsley. It's a very versatile recipe so feel free to play with the filling and topping ingredients.

Provided by JJ Johnson

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h50m

Yield 4 main course servings or 8 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 large sweet potatoes, scrubbed and pierced several times with the tines of a fork
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup shredded smoked Gouda cheese (about 4 ounces)
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1 cup sour cream
4 scallions, chopped
Parsley or other soft herbs, such as cilantro or basil, chopped, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Roast the potatoes on a baking sheet until they can be easily pierced with a fork, 40 to 50 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit until cool enough to handle. Leave the oven on for the final bake.
  • Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise. Using a metal spoon, scoop out 3/4 of the potato flesh into a medium bowl, leaving the skins protected by a layer of potato. Put the potato shells skin-side down on the baking sheet.
  • Mash the potato filling in the bowl then stir in the butter, smoked gouda and smoked paprika. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Divide the filling equally among the potato skins and return to the oven for 10 minutes.

LOADED PULLED PORK TATER TOT BITES



Loaded Pulled Pork Tater Tot Bites image

Forget potato skins... have you ever had loaded Tater Tots®? Tots are baked in muffin cups and transformed into crispy potato cups before being loaded with pulled pork, cheese, BBQ sauce, and sour cream. These bites are perfect for a party and also a great way to use up leftover pulled pork.

Categories     Pork Appetizers

Time 45m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

cooking spray
1 (16 ounce) package frozen bite-size potato nuggets (such as Tater Tots®)
8 ounces prepared pulled pork
¾ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
¼ cup BBQ sauce
⅓ cup sour cream
3 medium green onions, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Spray the cups of a 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Place 4 to 5 frozen potato nuggets into each muffin cup.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
  • Remove muffin pan from the oven. Using a small glass (e.g. a small juice glass or shot glass) twist and press the tots downward in each muffin cup to create a potato cup. Return to the oven and bake until deep golden brown, about 15 more minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and distribute pulled pork evenly between the cups. Add 1 tablespoon of shredded cheese to each potato cup, being careful to try and keep it on top of the pulled pork (not down the sides of the muffin cups).
  • Return to the oven and bake until the cheese has melted, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer the potato cups to a serving platter.
  • Drizzle with BBQ sauce, add a small dollop of sour cream, and sprinkle with green onions before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Look for sweet potatoes that are firm and have smooth skin. Avoid potatoes that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Scrub the potatoes well: Before cooking, scrub the potatoes thoroughly with a vegetable brush to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Prick the potatoes with a fork: This will help the potatoes cook evenly and prevent them from bursting.
  • Bake the potatoes until they are tender: The potatoes should be cooked until they are easily pierced with a fork. This will take about 45 minutes to an hour.
  • Let the potatoes cool slightly: Before handling the potatoes, let them cool slightly so that you don't burn your hands.
  • Scoop out the potato flesh: Use a spoon to scoop out the potato flesh, leaving about 1/4-inch of flesh around the edges.
  • Mash the potato flesh: Mash the potato flesh with a fork or potato masher until it is smooth.
  • Add your favorite toppings: Fill the potato skins with your favorite toppings, such as cheese, bacon, chives, or sour cream.
  • Broil the potato skins: Place the potato skins under a broiler for a few minutes, or until the toppings are melted and bubbly.
  • Serve immediately: Loaded sweet potato skins are best served hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Loaded sweet potato skins are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be enjoyed as a meal on their own.
