Twice-Baked California Sweetpotatoes

Serves 4

 

4yellow/white-fleshed sweetpotatoes, about 12 oz each

1/3c sour cream

3T butter, room temperature, plus 1 T melted butter

1/2 c shredded Jack or mozzarella cheese

1/4c chopped fresh chives, divided

Salt and pepper to taste

1large egg, lightly beaten

1/4t paprika

 

Preheat oven to 400°F. Pierce sweetpotatoes with a fork, arrange on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until tender, about 1 hour (see note). Set aside until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes. Cut 1/3 off top of each sweetpotato. Scoop flesh (including from tops) into a large bowl, leaving about 1/4-in on skins. Add sour cream and room temperature butter and mash. Stir in cheese, 3/4 of chives and salt and pepper to taste. Stir in egg. Fill sweetpotato shells with sweetpotato mixture, using a spoon or spatula to leave a textured surface. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with paprika. Return to baking sheet and bake until browned on top, 20 to 25 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining chives and serve.

 

Note: If you love baked sweetpotatoes but not how long they take to make, try this trick: microwave them on high for four minutes, then bake at 400°F until tender, 10 to 20 minutes. Or omit the oven altogether and simply microwave your sweetpotatoes until tender, six to eight minutes depending on their size.
