These shells are a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes. I also added some chopped bacon to the filling, which made them even more delicious.

These sweet potato shells were a hit! The caramelized onions added a delicious savory flavor that complemented the sweetness of the potatoes. I served them as a side dish with roasted chicken, and they were a perfect addition to the meal.
