How about another recipe! I made these sweet little gems a bit ago and even I'll be the first to admit maybe they're not too much to look at - but they were sure good. I think to start off, I would use different sweet potatoes, maybe ones that more resembled regular potatoes, but since I made this "on the fly" - I used what I had, so if presentation is really, really important to you, use different potatoes. Heat oven to 375, cut the top part of washed (scrubbed) potatoes -
Place, cut side down on greased foil placed on a baking sheet -
Bake until potatoes are tender (1 hour). Remove and let cool for 10 minutes. Scoop out inside of potatoes and place in a bowl
See what I mean about presentation????? I had a near disaster on my hands but did manage to save enough of the skins to have something left to "stuff" - anyway, this picture should make you feel a bit better when you make yours!
Now, on to the filling - mix 3 tablespoons brown sugar, 3 tablespoons finely chopped pecans, 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon. Mix it all up - until it's really mixed up, then mix a little more.
Gently refill the skins and place on baking sheet. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup finely chopped pecans and bake @ 350 for 20 - 25 minutes or until heated through (I could only salvage 3 skins, but saved the rest of the filling to eat later!) -
ENJOY!
