Wow, what a nice easy take on the sweet potato. I used the microwave for the 1st cooking time and a toaster oven to finish baking the potato with the filling, and nuts on top. I have some leftover sweet potatoes from the holidays I'm trying to use up, so I halved the recipe and made one potato for my lunch. Sweet potatoes are fine eaten with butter and salt, but this recipe's outcome was excellent, and the recipe will definitely be one I pull out for Thanksgiving.

The thin skins made it harder to take the potato flesh out.

This is one of the best recipes ever. I have made this 4 times and even my daughter who doesn't really like sweet potatoes raves about it. Definitely a recipe to share!!

I replaced the sweet stuff to appease my taste. instead i used salt pepper, garlic, sour cream, and ranch powder seasoning. topped them off with muenster and cheddar cheese w/ chives before baking. them perfect side to my meal!!!!

A big hit with our dinner party of 25. Used 8 oz. pkg. regular Philadelphia Cream Cheese, added a dab of butter on top and sprinkled little extra cinnamon. Absolutely delicious.
