TWICE BAKED POTATO IN OVEN RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place sweet potatoes on sheet tray and bake for 1 hour or until soft. Remove from oven and let stand until cool enough to handle.
• Split potatoes and remove the flesh to a medium sized bowl, reserving skins. In another bowl, add brown sugar, butter and cream cheese and the all of the spices and mash with a fork or rubber spatula.
• Add the butter and cream cheese mixture to the sweet potato flesh and fold in completely. Add the filling back to the potato skins and place on a half sheet tray. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a shallow 2-quart baking dish.
• Cook potatoes in a large pot with salted water to cover for 20 to 25 minutes, until tender when pierced. Drain well and return to pot. While potatoes are still hot, add butter and mash with a potato masher until smooth. Stir in 1 cup of cheese, milk, sour cream and eggs until blended. Then add 1/2 cup of scallions, 3 slices of bacon, crumbled; salt and pepper to taste.
• Spoon into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and 2 slices of bacon, crumbled.
• Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes or until the top is lightly golden brown. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup of scallions and serve.
