Mama.Mommy.Mom.: Sweet & Nutty Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes #SundaySupper

Sweet and Nutty Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes (Serves 2)

Ingredients:

2 large Sweet Potatoes
1/2 stick of Butter
1/4 cup chopped Pecans
1/4 cup packed Brown Sugar
2 teaspoons ground Cinnamon

This part can be done ahead! Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Wash your potatoes thoroughly, carefully scrubbing to remove any dirt. Using a knife, stab several small holes in each potato and place them directly on the center rack in your oven. Bake the potatoes for an hour, then remove them from the oven to cool.

Once your potatoes have cooled, slice them in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the flesh. Place it in a mixing bowl. In the meantime, melt the butter in a non-stick saucepan over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, stir in the pecans and cook for about 2 minutes or until the pecans become fragrant. Stir in the brown sugar and cinnamon, reduce heat to low and allow the flavors to meld.

While the butter mixture gets cozy, use a potato masher or fork to break up the potato flesh. Sweet potatoes are very easy to smash. You could also use a mixer to whip the potatoes if you would like. Once you've reached a relatively smooth consistency, stir in the hot butter mixture.

Scoop the potato mixture back into two of the hollowed sweet potato skins and carefully place them back on the rack in a preheated 425-degree oven. Allow them to bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they get a nice, light brown crust on the flesh. Pull them from the oven carefully and serve with a little additional butter and brown sugar. Delicious!
