Stuff the skins with seasoned sweet potato filling ahead of time and bake just before dinner. Saving time never tasted so good.

Ingredients

  • 6 medium sweet potatoes (2 1/4 pounds)
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 375°F. Pierce sweet potatoes with fork to allow steam to escape. Bake about 45 minutes or until tender.
  • 2
    Cut thin lengthwise slice from each potato; carefully scoop out inside of potato, leaving a thin shell. Mash potatoes in large bowl until no lumps remain. Beat in sour cream and milk. Beat in brown sugar, butter and salt until potatoes are light and fluffy.
  • 3
    Place shells in ungreased rectangular baking dish, 13x9x2 inches. Fill shells with potato mixture. Cover and refrigerate no longer than 24 hours.
  • 4
    Heat oven to 400°F. Bake uncovered about 25 minutes or until potato mixture is golden brown. (If baking filled shells immediately after mashing potatoes, bake about 20 minutes.)

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Rounded sweet potatoes similar in size and shape to a baking potato work best for this recipe. The longer narrow sweet potatoes are difficult to scoop and fill the inside.
  • tip 2
    Sprinkle baked shells with 2 tablespoons chopped toasted pecans or crystallized ginger for a special touch.
