I like to make these twice-baked sweet potatoes because they can be prepared ahead of time. With the addition of cream cheese, they are very creamy and not overly sweet. It is so easy to increase the quantity to any number. &mdash;Linda Call, Falun, Kansas

Creamy Twice-Baked Sweet Potatoes

sweet potatoes (about 10 ounces each)

cream cheese, softened

brown sugar

cinnamon

pecans

Preheat oven to 375&deg;. Scrub potatoes; pierce several times with a fork. Bake on a foil-lined baking sheet until tender, 45-60 minutes. Cool slightly.

Cut off a thin slice from top of each potato. Scoop out pulp, leaving 1/4-in.-thick shells. Mash pulp with cream cheese, brown sugar and cinnamon. Spoon into shells; return to pan. Top with pecans. Bake until heated through, 15-20 minutes.

How far ahead can the potatoes be made? If I  make them 2 days ahead, should I store them in the refrigerator or freezer?

Excellent!The 2nd time I made these,  I left out sugar to get the natural sweet potato taste and again, it was excellently awesome tasting!!! :)

My family never liked the overly sweet, sweet potato casserole, we always just baked sweet potatoes plain.  EVERYONE liked this at Thanksgiving this year.

Fabulous taste and texture! Well worth the time and effort!

We really like the potatoes prepared this way.  The nuts on top burned so next time, I'll stir them into the potato mixture.

Great if you have time to make these. Use your microwave if you don't. I prefer the oven because I like to eat skin and all...Yummy

Excellent way to eat sweet potatoes!  The skins are not as resilient as russet potatoes, so it was kind of difficult to refill the very thin skins, but they still turned out great!  Also, I made the mistake of baking them on aluminum foil, which ended up on the dinner plate with the potato because it was not coming off!  : )

I made these for Thanksgiving, everyone told me they were the best sweet potatoes they had ever eaten. Easy and so good.
