1 Video | Photo: Twice-Baked Sweet Potatoes Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 large sweet potatoes, scrubbed
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon chipotle peppers in adobo, pureed
- 1 stick unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup creme fraiche
- 1/2 cup maple syrup, plus 2 tablespoons
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- Nonstick cooking spray
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Place potatoes on a baking sheet and bake in the oven until soft, 45 to 50 minutes. Remove the potatoes from the oven and let rest 5 minutes. Slice potatoes in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the flesh, being careful not to damage the skin. Rice the flesh in a ricer set over a bowl.
Bring the heavy cream and chipotle puree to a simmer over low heat in a small saucepan. Stir the warm cream, butter, creme fraiche and 1/2 cup of the maple syrup into the sweet potato mixture until combined. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Spray the baking dish with cooking spray. Fill each of the skins with the cream mixture, place back on the baking sheet and bake until golden brown. Remove the potatoes to a platter and drizzle the tops of each with the remaining maple syrup.

Just perfect! the only caveat was that the skins were tearing off and potatoes seem to be slightly undercooked and hard to mash. So I put them a few minutes in the microwave. Agreed to use "real" maple syrup, a key ingredient. Pouring everything in a casserole dish instead of the skins and it turned out just great! A big success!

I can't wait to make this again this year. The only downside to serving this last year was that there weren't any leftovers.

Excellent. You will never go back to that sweet concoction with brown sugar and marshmallows again. Just watch the amount of cream and other additions. Add cautiously, but keep in mind that the mixture will seem a little loose, but it firms up when cooking in oven. Everyone loves these and you can make it as hot and smokey as you want with more or fewer chipotle peppers, but don't skip this ingredient as it is the key to the dish. Try to use creme fraishe and not sub with regular sour cream as it really makes the difference. Use real maple syrup, not that high fructose corn syrup stuff. I skip stuffing the skins and just pour it in a casserole dish.
