Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly under running water and pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
- Pierce each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
- Rub each potato with 1 tablespoon of olive oil until they are evenly coated.
- Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-60 minutes, until they are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
- While the potatoes are baking, finely chop the green onions and red hot chili pepper.
- In a small bowl, mix the chopped green onions and chili pepper with the shredded cheddar cheese. Set aside.
- In another small bowl, stir the sour cream to soften its texture.
- Once the sweet potatoes are tender, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes until they are safe to handle.
- Carefully cut each potato in half lengthwise. Using a spoon, scoop out most of the flesh, leaving a thin layer to help maintain the structure of the skin.
- Place the scooped sweet potato flesh into a mixing bowl and mash it with a fork.
- Stir in the chopped green onions, red chili pepper, shredded cheddar cheese, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
- Spoon the filling back into the sweet potato skins, dividing it evenly among them.
- Place the stuffed potatoes back on the baking sheet.
- Return the stuffed potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes.
- Top each stuffed potato with a dollop of sour cream.
- Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your delicious cheddar and green chili stuffed sweet potatoes!
Tips:
- Choose sweet potatoes that are similar in size to ensure even cooking.
- To achieve a crispy skin, make sure to thoroughly dry the potatoes after washing.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of chili pepper based on your spice preference.
- If you prefer a milder heat, consider using a milder variety of chili or deseeding the chili before use.
- You can add a splash of lime juice to the sour cream for a tangy twist.
