Have you made Twice Baked Potatoes before? We make this recipe the same way. The sweet potatoes get baked, the insides are scooped out, a few ingredients added, and then top them with traditional casserole toppings. Of course, they get baked a second time.

Easy Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes

You can make Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes ahead of time, which makes dinner preparation a little easier. I usually prepare them a day or two ahead and keep them covered in the refrigerator. Then, let them reach room temperature before doing the final baking.

Fork with Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes with brown sugar and sweet topping are always my favorite. I am sure a savory version with bacon would be amazing. But, I prefer the traditional versions.

Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes are great for a weeknight dinner side dish too! I made them last week to serve with a Slow Cooker Turkey Breast. My family thinks they are great.

Then, remove them from the oven. Cool enough to handle and cut potato lengthwise to remove the tops. Cut around the potato to allow access to the inside.

Scoop out the inside potato flesh and add to a medium-sized mixing bowl. Then, add the butter, vanilla, milk, and brown sugar.

After, beat with a handheld mixer until thoroughly combined.

Then add the mixture back into the insides of the sweet potato skins.

Add two tablespoons of butter to a small mixing bowl. Then, microwave for about 45 seconds to melt. Then add quick-cooking oats, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

Mix until combined.

Add the mini marshmallows to the top of each potato.

Add the topping.

And bake again for about 15 minutes or until marshmallows melt and topping is golden brown.
