I love sweet potatoes but I do not want added sugar. Not because of any dietary restrictions - I just think sweet potatoes are sweet enough without added sugar. I did not stuff these. I just used the roasted sweet potatoes with the other ingredients and put them in a casserole. Mostly because I was having 14 people and no one really wanted a whole sweet potato. A few delicious tablespoons were plenty and very appreciated.
These came out fantastic! I followed the recipe almost exactly (I'm vegetarian so I omitted the bacon and just sauteed the green onions/jalapeños in olive oil) and they were incredibly tasty. I wasn't sure whether the recipe called for fresh jalapeños but I used pickled slices in brine and they worked great. The only note I have is to allow for a lot longer initial cooking time for the sweet potatoes: I had to bake them for 50 minutes before they were tender enough to mash.
These were great but I made the following changes: 1. I cut the yams in half after softening so I could use both top and bottom rather than throwing out the top third. The skin slides off really easily I didn't worry about leaving a base of yam just used a bare skin. 2. I used a full 8 oz. block of cheddar 3. I cooked the bacon in my air fryer and just used a small amount of the fat to sautee the scallions and jalapenos. I thought the grease from that much bacon was just too much to put into the yam mixture 4. I used a full 4 oz. of sour cream I cooked them ahead of time to bring to our family Thanksgiving and just reheated then when we got there. Everyone loved them. I'm going to make them again for my Christmas party!
Absolutely delicious and so easy to make.
Welcomed tasty and textural change from plain baked potatoes. Only substitute was sour cream, and sliced in half/scooped out instead of as directed. A meal in one at my house.
Excellent. I never cared for sweet potatoes, but this recipe converted me.
Followed the recipe almost exactly, and it turned out very well! I didnt have jalapeno peppers on hand so I subbed with 1 green serrano chili instead and also omitted the bacon - kept everything else the same. Definitely a keeper and will be making again
I hate sweet potatoes, but I convinced myself they were healthier. Now: I love sweet potatoes! Almost as much as I love Chef John. These are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. Just like every other recipe he shares.
Super yummy! I ve made it 2 times and both times it was a big hit. Thanks so much for another great recipe Chef John!
