    Simple Savory Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

    stuffed sweet potatoes pin

    I don’t know WHAT came over me tonight. I just wanted something different and apparently, I’m a little obsessed with ‘S’s. ;~P

    This morning I pulled out some tilapia fillets to make Crispy Baked Parmesan Crusted Tilapia. Along side, I was planning to make Sweet Potato Fries but by the time I got home from work, I just wasn’t in the mood.

    Then I realized I really only eat sweet potatoes one of two ways, fries and baked. Why not try something new! So I experimented and I’m glad I did even if the husband and the toddler weren’t fans. Well, that’s not quite the truth, neither would even try one so I’m not sure if they would have liked them or not. Oh well more for me. Now I have lunch tomorrow!

    Ingredients

    • 2 sweet potatoes
    • ½ of a small onion
    • 4-5 button mushrooms
    • ½ teaspoon curry powder
    • â…› teaspoon dried rosemary
    • Salt & Pepper
    • ½ oz gouda cheese grated
    • 1 tablespoon (7g) real bacon bits
    • Dried chives for garnish
    • Non-stick cooking spray

    Instructions

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

    Pierce the skin of the potatoes and bake them for about 45 minutes until they are tender. To give them a jump-start and shorten the cooking time, pop them in the microwave for 5 minutes. Once they are tender, pull them out of the oven and let them cool.

    While the potatoes are cooling, sauté the onion and mushrooms over medium heat with a bit of non-stick cooking spray for about 10 minutes until the mushroom start to reduce down. Season the onion mushroom mixture with the curry, rosemary, salt & pepper.

    Cut the potatoes in half scoop out the centers leaving the skin with a bit of flesh like a boat.

    Mix the potato flesh with the onion mushroom mixture until well blended. Place the mixture in a large zip lock bag. Cut one of the bottom tips off and use the bag to pipe the mixture into the skins.

    Top each potato with the cheese, bacon bits and chives. Bake for about 15 minutes.

      I've been making these a lot lately and BOY are they delicious! I've been topping them with provologne, but I imagine the gouda is amazingly creamy.

      These are so filling and satisfying. Great recipe!

      Try a bit of onion and/or garlic powder. Or even chili powder for a kick! Have fun with it. 🙂

      I love making potato skins, definetley be trying this sweet potato version. You've got some great, healthy ingredients in there, lots of vitamins and minerals..
      so I feel I have to say, there is lots of controversey about mircrowaves. I beleive in the theory, that they change the energy of our food, killing/making unavailable a lot of the nutrients we want. No one has proven it's not true, so if we are taking so much effort to buy, cook, eat healthy foods, go one step further and skip microwaving all together.

      Tried these and absolutely love them. I am not a fan of mushrooms so I was reluctant, but chopped them small enough that I can't see them in the filling. Very tasty, and hard to believe I get to eat real bacon bits! Yummy!

      Roni, I made these sweet potatoes for me and my son (he made your stuffed bell peppers to go with them). We were LOVING THEM!! Girl, we are hooked!! 🙂 I think we've made about 8 of your recipes, since I found your web site the 4th of December. Looking for more recipes today for the new year.
      HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU AND YOU FAMILY!!

      I didn't. I just used the nutritional info for all the ingredients divided by 4. I use nutritiondata.com and they count a sweet potato at 112 cals and 4 g of fiber (about 5 inches long)

      It makes sense that it would still be 1 point per half. All the other ingredients aren't adding much when you spread them across 4 servings. Plus it was a high 1 point. Just squeaked in! ;~P

      Roni - how many points do you count for a sweet potato? I have an old food list that says 2 for a medium size potato.

      Oh how I would love these minus the curry powder. The gouda and the sweet potato sound like a match made in heaven btw!

      Those twice baked sweet potatoes sound good! I'm gonna have to experiment with those!
      I got sick on sweet potatoes as a kid and would not touch them for a VERY LONG TIME! I have just rediscovered them and like them, as long as they are not covered with sugar and marshmallows.
      I tried the sweet potato fries too, they were not as good as I had expected...a bit limp and burned. I think my oven bakes too hot. I will try them again and see if i can perfect them!
