Who is ready for the Super Bowl?! In this episode, ‘Cooking with Coastline’s new hosts Stephanie Boulay, Registered Dietitian, and Jessica Peck, Executive Assistant, will prepare a creative twist to some classic appetizers.
Sweet Potato Skins
Yield: 8 potato skins, may easily be doubled or tripled for a crowd
Total Time: 1 hour, 30 minutes
Ingredients:
•4 medium sweet potatoes
•1 Tablespoon olive oil
•1/4 cup milk
•1/4 teaspoon salt
•Ground pepper, to taste
•1 cup reduced fat shredded cheese
•Plain Greek yogurt and chopped chives for serving
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400F degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Pierce each sweet potato a few times and bake for 40-50 minutes or until soft. Allow the potatoes to cool slightly. Slice potatoes in half lengthwise.
Reduce oven temperature to 375F degrees. Scoop out sweet potato flesh, leaving a thin layer of sweet potato inside, and add flesh to a medium bowl. For extra crispy skins, place skins back on the baking sheet face up, drizzle with olive oil and bake for 10 minutes.
Mash the sweet potato flesh with milk, salt, cheese (1/2 cup) and pepper until smooth and creamy. After 10 minutes, remove the skins from the oven. Fill each with an equal amount of mashed sweet potato and top each with the rest of the cheese. Bake for 15 minutes until the cheese is melted. Remove from the oven and top with Greek yogurt and chopped chives, if desired. Skins are best enjoyed immediately.
Cover leftovers tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
