Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 sweet potatoes
¼ cup butter
1 small onion, minced
1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
¾ tablespoon orange zest
¾ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
⅛ teaspoon ground allspice
¼ cup sour cream
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 egg whites

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Place potatoes on baking sheet and bake until just softened, about 1 hour. Allow to cool for 15 minutes.
  • Slice off 1/2 inch lengthwise from tops of potatoes. Scoop out pulp, leaving 1/4 inch thick shells. Reserve 4 shells; discard remaining 2. Mash pulp.
  • In a small skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion; cook until softened, about 8 minutes. Add brown sugar, zest, salt, cumin, cinnamon, pepper and allspice. Cook until sugar melts, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Combine onion mixture with mashed sweet potatoes. Stir in sour cream and cilantro.
  • In bowl with mixer on high speed, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gently fold whites into sweet potato mixture.
  • Spoon or pipe mixture back into shells. Place on baking sheets; bake until filling is just set and tops begin to brown, about 15 to 20 minutes.

I loved the idea of these, but they were a bit too much work for me. I think I'll try a simpler recipe next time.

These were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll add some more butter next time.

I found the recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra spices and it was much better.
