→ Main Ingredients
01 -
4 tablespoons room-temperature unsalted butter
02 -
Salt and pepper (adjust to taste)
03 -
1/2 cup sour cream (optional for topping)
04 -
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
05 -
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
06 -
Milk or cream as needed to adjust texture
07 -
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
08 -
4 medium-sized sweet potatoes
# Instructions:
01 -
Start by setting your oven to 375°F (190°C). Poke some holes all over the potatoes using a fork. Arrange them on a baking sheet and let them bake for about an hour until soft.
02 -
Halve each potato lengthwise, then scoop the insides into a big bowl. Leave just enough skin to keep its shape. Mix the insides with butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar until smooth. If it feels too thick, stir in a bit of milk or cream. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
03 -
Fill the empty potato skins with the mashed mixture. If you’d like, you can sprinkle on extra brown sugar or cinnamon, or add sour cream as a topping.
04 -
Pop them back in the oven for another 15–20 minutes. The tops should be lightly browned, and the insides heated through.
05 -
Serve them toasty right out of the oven. Feel free to add any extra toppings you like before digging in!
# Notes:
01 -
Make sure the filling is evenly mashed and spread.
02 -
Switch up the spices or toppings to suit your style.

A great idea for a festive meal or family gatherings!
