I followed the recipe exactly and the potatoes turned out dry and bland. I won't be making these again.

I've made this recipe several times and it always turns out great. The potatoes are fluffy and the filling is flavorful. I like to add a little extra cheese on top before baking.

These twice-baked sweet potatoes were a hit with my family! They were so easy to make and turned out perfectly. The bacon and cheese added a delicious flavor and the potatoes were cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making these again!
