SIDE ESSENTIALS: TWICE-BAKED SWEET POTATO HEAVEN
This is a really fun way to bake up some fantastic sweet potatoes. They can be served at your next football party as a snack, or you could have them as a side at your next dinner party. I personally serve a variation of this as one of my sides at Thanksgiving. So, you ready... Let's get into the kitchen.

Steps:
- 1. PREP/PREPARE
- 2. Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
- 3. THE POTATO
- 4. Add a rack to the middle position, and preheat the oven to 400f (205c).
- 5. Wash the sweet potato, and use a paring knife or fork to prick the skin.
- 6. Chef's Note: Pricking the skin of a potato will allow steam to escape; keeping the potato from splitting open during the baking process.
- 7. Brush with a bit of olive oil, and lightly sprinkle with salt.
- 8. Place the potato on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and place in the oven until cooked through, about 20 - 35 minutes; depending on how big your potatoes are.
- 9. Chef's Tip: A potato is cooked through, when a fork or paring knife inserted into the potato goes in without resistance.
- 10. Allow to cool, and then, using a spoon, carefully remove the insides, while leaving the skins intact.
- 11. Mix the sweet potato with the remainder of the ingredients, and add back into the potato skins.
- 12. THE TOPPING
- 13. Add the topping ingredients together.
- 14. Divide between the filled potato skins.
- 15. Return to the preheated oven, and bake for an addition 12 - 15 minutes, or until the tops begin to brown.
- 16. PLATE/PRESENT
- 17. Serve by themselves as a party snack, or as a side at your next dinner party. Enjoy.
- 18. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

[email protected]Just made this recipe last night and it was a hit! The twice-baked potatoes were creamy and flavorful, and the crunchy pecan topping added a nice contrast. I also loved the addition of cinnamon and nutmeg, which gave the dish a warm and cozy flavor.
