Cheese Stuffed Sweet Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Poke each sweet potato a few times and microwave until fork-tender, about 10 minutes, rotating halfway through. Set aside and keep warm.
• Meanwhile, put the carrots, garlic, tomato and onion in a food processor; add the vinegar, cumin, oregano, cayenne, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper and pulse until coarsely chopped. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, add the vegetable mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Add 1/4 cup water and cook, scraping up any brown bits with a wooden spoon, until the water evaporates, about 1 minute. Add the ground beef and cook, stirring and breaking it up into smaller chunks, until browned and cooked through, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Split the potatoes in half, scoop out some of the warm flesh and add it to the beef mixture; stir to combine. Divide the potato halves among 4 plates and generously fill each half with the beef-potato mixture. Top each with sour cream, Cheddar and scallions.

Steps:

• Microwave the sweet potato on high until tender (when you squeeze it with a clean dish towel, it should feel really soft), about 5 minutes. Let sit for a few minutes.
• Cut the potato in half but not all the way through. Using the dish towel to hold the potato in place, scoop out the flesh into a small bowl. Add the chicken, Cheddar and a pinch salt and mash everything together with a fork. Fill the potato skin with the mixture.
• Cut the avocado into small pieces. Drizzle the stuffed potato with the salsa verde and top with the avocado and scallion.

Steps:

• Scrub potatoes, prick lightly with a fork and microwave for six minutes, or until done. (Or, bake in oven at 400 degrees F for one hour or until done.) When cool enough to handle, cut the potatoes lengthwise and scoop out the insides into a small mixing bowl. Set aside potato skins.
• Mash the cooked potatoes with the three cheeses and salt and pepper. Distribute the potato mixture evenly among the potato shells. Top each with the sliced green onion and sprinkle paprika on top.
• Return potatoes to the microwave (one minute on high) or oven (10 to 15 minutes at 350 degrees F) or until hot. Wrap or store in a portable container to bring to work or the gym; microwave on high for 1 1/2 to two minutes on high before eating.

Steps:

• Pierce the sweet potatoes several times with a fork and microwave, turning halfway through, until soft, 15 to 20 minutes. Meanwhile, toss the coleslaw mix, pico de gallo, pickled jalapenos and 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in a medium bowl and set aside.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tomato paste, chili powder and cumin and cook, stirring, until toasted, about 1 minute. Add the beef and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• One at a time, hold the sweet potatoes in a kitchen towel, cut open and scoop out a few spoonfuls of flesh; add to the skillet with the beef mixture along with the cheese and scallions. Season with salt. Return the skillet to medium heat and stir until the cheese melts, about 1 minute. Spoon into the sweet potatoes and top with the slaw.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Pierce the sweet potatoes with a fork several times and place on a sheet pan. Bake until fork-tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Let cool for 5 minutes, then halve the sweet potatoes lengthwise and scoop the sweet potato flesh into a bowl, being gentle to not tear the skin. Put the flesh aside.
• Heat the olive oil and garlic in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, gently sauteing until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the spinach and saute until wilted and much of the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Transfer the spinach to a bowl, discarding any excess liquid, then add the sour cream, cream cheese, chopped artichokes, 1 cup Parmesan and the sweet potato flesh. Season the mixture to taste and mix until combined.
• Mix together the panko, butter and remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
• Spoon the spinach mixture into the hollowed out sweet potato skins. (Make sure the mixture is heaping.) Top with the breadcrumb mixture and place on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Bake until golden brown and bubbly, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Garnish each with a dollop of sour cream and the minced chives.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Pierce potatoes with a fork and bake until soft, about 1 hour. Remove from oven and cool until potatoes can be handled, about 20 minutes.
• Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a large baking sheet.
• Meanwhile, place olive oil in small skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and cook and stir until softened and beginning to brown, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
• Cut potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out pulp, leaving a thin shell. Set shells aside. Place pulp into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Add ricotta, salt, pepper, ginger, and sugar to the blender; blend until smooth.
• Return potato mixture to a bowl; stir in shallots, Parmesan cheese, and sage. Spoon mixture back into potato skins. Place potatoes on prepared baking sheet.
• Bake until heated through, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Bake or microwave the sweet potatoes until done but still firm.
• When cool enough to handle, cut each in half lengthwise.
• Scoop out the inside of each potato half, leaving a sturdy shell, about 1/4 inch thick all around.
• Transfer the scooped-out potato to a mixing bowl and mash coarsely.
• Heat the margarine in a medium skillet.
• Add the zucchini and sauté, stirring frequently, until it is golden and tender.
• Add the scallions and sauté for another minute or so.
• Combine the zucchini mixture with the mashed sweet potato in the mixing bowl.
• Add the goat cheese and salt, and stir well to combine.
• Stuff the mixture back into the potato shells.
• Heat as needed in the microwave or in a preheated 400-degree oven, and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200C, 400F, gas mark 6.
• Prick the skins of the sweet potatoes all over with a fork, place on a baking tray (they will ooze a sticky syrup whilst cooking) and bake in the oven for about 45 minutes or until tender.
• While the potatoes are baking, mix together the cream cheese, egg yolk, chilli powder, spring onions and seasoning in a bowl; towards the end of the cooking time, preheat the grill to hot.
• When baked, cut the sweet potatoes in half lengthways and, keeping the skins intact, scoop the flesh from the sweet potatoes and add to the cream cheese mixture.
• Stir all the ingredients together, then stuff the mixture back into the skins.
• Dot the tops with butter, sprinkle with extra chilli powder then brown potatoes under the hot grill; serve immediately.

Steps:

• Bake potatoes at 425° for 45 minutes or until tender. Remove from oven; reduce temperature to 350°. Cut each potato in half horizontally; leaving a thin shell, carefully scoop pulp into a bowl. Set potato skins aside. , To the pulp, add sour cream, Parmesan cheese, bacon, onion and horseradish. Mix with a fork until combined but not mashed. Add salt and pepper. Fill potato skins. Top each potato with 1 teaspoon butter and sprinkle with cheese. Place in a shallow baking dish. Bake at 350° until heated through, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Bake potatoes at 375 F for about 45 minutes or until tender.
• Warm chili beans while potatoes bake.
• Slice potatoes down the center but not all the way through and gently push in the ends so the potato forms a boat.
• Add about a 1/4 cup of chili to each potato. They should be full but not overflowing.
• Top with cheese and enjoy.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F; use a fork to poke some holes in each sweet potato, then wrap in aluminum foil.
• Bake until tender, about 45 to 60 minutes; unwrap, slit down the middle of each potato and let sit until cool enough to handle.
• Meanwhile, increase heat to 450 degrees F; place grapes on a baking sheet, drizzle with oil, season with a pinch each of salt and pepper.
• Roast until they begin to burst, 20 to 25 minutes; remove and let cool.
• By now the sweet potatoes should be cool enough to handle, so use a spoon to gently remove the flesh while leaving the skins intact; mash potatoes with 3 ounces of goat cheese, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, pepper, and honey.
• Taste for seasoning, then scoop flesh back into skins (re-heat in oven if desired), top with remaining goat cheese, add grapes, and drizzle with honey.
