Loaded Baked Sweet Potato Skins
(serves 6)
- 3 yams or sweet potatoes
- oil or oil spray
- toppings of choice
Poke a few holes around each potato with a fork. If using the microwave: wrap the potatoes loosely in paper towels and cook 14 minutes. If using the oven: Preheat oven to 400F place potatoes on a tray or baking dish, and bake for one hour. For both methods, once the potatoes are done, slice each in half lengthwise and scoop out about 2/3 of the flesh (save this scooped-out flesh). Preheat oven to 430 F, and either brush the skins with oil or spray with oil spray. Place on a baking sheet. Bake 15 minutes, then remove from the oven and re-stuff with filling. You can also add cheese-type shreds (such as Daiya) at this time. Place under the broiler, and broil (or bake at the oven’s highest temperature) 3-4 minutes or until cheese shreds have melted.

Question of the Day:
What are your plans for Super Bowl this year?
I still need to figure out what I want to make this year, but there are a few ideas going through my mind, such as Macaroni and Cheese Cups, Chocolate Brownie Pie, or maybe even a peanut butter or caramel version of my Gooey Chocolate Pudding Cake (one of my personal favorite recipes).
