Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes are the perfect side dish when you want a little change from the basic sweet potato fare.
Baked to perfection and then combined with a few simple ingredients you most likely have on hand make for an irresistibly decadent creamy sweet potato! Top with chopped pecans if desired and you will be in love! No need for the sugary sweet potato dishes that most often are presented at the Thanksgiving table. These will leave you fully satisfied and happy.
Sweet potatoes are easy to love and there's really not just one way I don't enjoy eating them. Baked, roasted, pureed, and now twice baked have become a regular way to enjoy them in our house. Even my children loved this recipe. My little man has a nut allergy so can't have it with the pecans but even standing alone without them, it's a pretty dish to present during the upcoming holiday feasting.

Can you clarify serving size. That nutritional info appears to be for a whole potato
Brenda
3 potatoes cut in half and stuffed make 6 stuffed potatoes. So one of them is a serving.
