twice baked sweet potato

These take a little bit of time and love but it is worth it.


preheat oven to 375F

4 lg sweet potatoes scrubbed
1 1/2c heavy cream
1tbsp chili powder
1 stick unsalted butter
1/2c creme fraiche
1/2c maple syrup and 2 tbsp maple syrup for garnish
salt and pepper

bake potatoes on cookie sheet 45-50 min
let cool
cut in half length wise and empty middles into bowl

In a sauce pan
bring cream and chili powder to a simmer
add all ingredients
add middles of the sweet potaotes

Fill the potato skins with mixture
bake until golden brown
top with 2 tbsp maple syrup

These are more like a dessert. They go fast so make plenty.
