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.
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.
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.
