Süßkartoffeln, zweimal gebacken

Zutaten

• 4 medium sweet potatoes (rinsed and scrubbed)
• 6 slices bacon (cooked )
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons fresh chives (chopped )
• 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese (shredded )

Zubereitung

1. 1

   Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Poke sweet potatoes all over with a fork, then place on prepared baking sheet. Bake sweet potatoes 1 hour until soft and baked through. Set aside until cool enough to handle.

2. 2

   Cut cooled sweet potatoes in half lengthwise, then use a spoon to scoop out pulp, leaving a 1/4-inch wall. Transfer pulp to a large bowl, and return sweet potato shells to baking sheet. Crumble 4 slices cooked bacon and add to bowl. Add sour cream and 1 tablespoon chopped chives. Stir to combine.

3. 3

   Spoon filling into shells. Sprinkle tops with shredded cheese. Bake at 400 degrees F 5 to 10 minutes until cheese is melted. Top with remaining 2 slices bacon, crumbled, and remaining 1 tablespoon chopped chives.
