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.

These twice-baked sweet potatoes are the perfect comfort food. They're warm, creamy, and flavorful. I love that I can customize them with different toppings, too. I usually add a sprinkle of brown sugar and cinnamon, but I've also tried them with map
