Ingredients

4 sweet potatoes

Pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons melted butter

8 ounces brie with rind removed

2 cup walnuts in syrup

Chives, for garnish

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Wash and dry potatoes. Bake in the oven for 35 to 45 minutes, or until tender and not mushy. Remove from the oven and let cool.
  3. Cut the potatoes in half. Scoop out the flesh of the potatoes and reserve for another use. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and drizzle with melted butter.
  4. Place the skins on a baking sheet and return to the oven to bake for about 10 minutes, or until crisp.
  5. Top each skin with 1 ounce of brie and 1/4 cup walnuts. Place the skins on a baking sheet and broil until the cheese is bubbly; about 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped chives.

I loved this recipe when I first saw it on Food Network and it has quickly become a Thanksgiving staple. I only make it once a year, and it's something everyone looks forward to ... But I will warn you: it's mighty sweet and filling, so I only plan on 1.5 potato halves per person (ie, only every other person will actually eat a whole potato....) If you plan one potato per person, you end up with a lot of leftovers.... especially on Thanksgiving when everyone's saving room for pie!
