No, its not a quick Monday-night side dish slapped together in a rush.
This is a starchy side that commands attention, thats indulgent and lush and made for special occasions.
The flavour combination of sweet-salty-nutty-buttery and the crunchy topping with the creamy insides is just unbelievably good.
Bonus: Assemble ahead then bake on the day!
This recipe will also work with regular potatoes.
But the flavour combination here has been specifically designed for sweet potatoes.
Try my regularTwice Baked Stuffed Potatoesinstead though theres nothing regular about how delicious that recipe is!!
Unsalted butter Were using this to makebrownedbutter today.
More intensely buttery with warm nutty flavours.
No wasting free flavour!
Colby cheese This is my all-rounder go-to cheese with good melting qualities and flavour without going greasy.
If using mozzarella, Id mix in 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese for a flavour / salt boost.
Spices Garlic, onion powder and paprika.
Panko breadcrumbs For the toppings!
Fresh sage This is my herb of choice for this holiday-inspired side dish.
The earthy flavour is sheer perfection with the buttery sweet potato.
If youre cooking for a special occasion, I think its worth getting.
Scoop Let it cool for 10 minutes just so you’re able to handle it.
Topwith the reserved bacon, pecans and golden panko mixture (see below).
Bake for a further 3 to 4 minutes just to warm the crunchy topping then serve!
Otherwise, use a spoon to scoop up the butter to check.
If using streaky bacon, you wont need extra oil because the fat in the bacon will melt.
Crunchy panko Add the panko, sage and salt.
Then cook for a few minutes in the bacon fat until the panko is golden.
Use as per directions in the section above.
Does it take more effort than a regular baked potato?
Does it take more effort than making one big pan ofSweet Potato Casserole?
Yes, because were assembling multiple ones rather than dumping everything into one big pan.
Steal the last one left for yourself.
