Chatelaine Triple Tested

We gave the standard baked sweet potato an upgrade with a luscious cheddar, sour cream and pimento filling.

Ingredients

  • 4 medium sweet potatoes, washed very well

  • 1/2 250-g brick cream cheese, at room temperature

  • 1/2 cup finely grated cheddar

  • 1/4 cup sour cream

  • 57-mL jar pimento peppers, drained and finely chopped

  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1/4 cup finely sliced green onions

Instructions

  • Prick unpeeled sweet potatoes several times with a fork. Microwave on high until tender, turning halfway through, 5 to 8 min. Transfer all 4 potatoes to a platter. Let sit until they are cool enough to handle.

  • Stir cream cheese with cheddar, sour cream, pimentos, garlic powder, salt and onions. Season with pepper.

  • To serve, cut an X diagonally along the top of each potato. Push from end to end until the flesh pops out slightly. Fluff the flesh with a fork. Scoop 2 tbsp pimento cheese on top of each potato.
