Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- Chopped bacon bits (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly, then poke several holes in each potato with a fork. This will allow steam to escape while they bake.
- Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for about 45 minutes to an hour or until they are soft to the touch and cooked through.
- Once baked, remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
- Carefully slice each sweet potato in half lengthwise. Scoop out the insides into a bowl, leaving a small layer of potato attached to the skin to help hold its shape.
- In the bowl with the scooped sweet potato, add the olive oil, Greek yogurt, milk, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and half of the cheese. Mix until well combined and creamy.
- Fill the sweet potato skins with the mixture, mounding it up slightly. Top with the remaining cheese and sprinkle with chopped green onions and bacon bits if using.
- Return the filled sweet potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, and serve hot!
