Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes – Unbelievably Delicious!
Are you looking for a last minute Holiday Side Dish? Then look no further. These Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes will be a crowd pleaser, or perfect for the small gathering too. Your guests will be talking about these for holidays to come, they are so delicious. These would be perfect to add to your Thanksgiving spread, Christmas spread, or really any meal you want to make feel extra special.
Another thing that I love about this decadent dish for the holidays, is that you can prepare them ahead of time, and pop in the oven the day of. That is so nice, when you are trying to get a big meal on the table. Simply make them up to the point of baking the second time, and cover in plastic wrap, and store in the fridge. Then before it is time to eat, put them in the oven to warm through before serving. My favorite way to do this, is to prep them the morning of, but you could do it as early as the evening before.
If you are looking for something with similar flavors, but a few short cuts, check out this recipe for Sweet Potato Casserole with Pecan Crunch Topping here.
And for the kids table, how about making a batch of these Sweet Potato Fries in their favorite shapes?
You are basically baking a sweet potato, then making its own sweet potato souffle to put back in side of it. It is alot like the traditional sweet potato casserole with marshmallows on top, only this presents so beautifully, it looks like you had your own private chef whip up a batch. It is so believably decadent, but not too sweet. It is the perfect balance of creamy wonderful flavors, without overpowering the taste of the roasted sweet potatoes themselves.
The inside of the Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes will be creamy and velvety, and the pecans add a nice crunch to that for different textures in each mouthful.
You can adjust these ingredients to feed any size crowd, but this will make 8 Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes (each potato is cut in half and so yields 2 servings). So adjust based on how many you want this to feed.
