Ingredients
- 2 medium sized sweet potatoes, scrubbed clean and dried
- 4 slices Canadian bacon, cut into tiny cubes (or real bacon, cooked and crumbled)
- 14 cup sour cream (more or less to taste)
- 14 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated (more or less to taste)
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
- salt and pepper, to taste
Method
- Poke several holes in each sweet potato with a knife or fork.
- Wrap each sweet potato in a paper towel and place in the microwave.
- Cook on high until the potatoes are soft in the middle.
- (Some microwaves have a potato setting.)
- For a medium sized potato it will take about 10 minutes.
- You can cook them in the oven but it takes much longer.
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- Remove the potatoes from the microwave.
- Once they are cool enough to handle, cut in half, and scoop out the centers into a small bowl.
- Combine the sweet potato flesh with the sour cream, Canadian bacon, Cheddar cheese, and chives.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Mash together with a fork or spoon.
- Stuff the potatoes with the mixture.
- Sprinkle with a little more shredded cheese.
- Place stuffed potatoes on a foil lined baking sheet, sprayed with cooking spray.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, until the cheese has melted and the skin has started to crisp.
- Remove from the oven, top with a dollop of sour cream and sprinkle with more chives (both optional).
- Serve immediately.
- Serves 2.
