I am home alone this week and sometimes it's hard to figure out what to make for a party of one. Are you pulling out your violin?! I came up with Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes with Cheddar, Shallots, Rosemary and Thyme. Sweet Potatoes are highly nutritious and are a great source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. You can make these earlier in the day and pop them in the oven.

  • Prep: 10 mins
  • Cook: 1 hrs 15 mins
  • Yields: 2 Servings

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 shallot, minced

1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, minced

½ teaspoon fresh thyme, minced

2 large sweet potatoes

½ cup cheddar cheese, shredded

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

¼ teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons freshly grated parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

1Meanwhile, heat the oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes, until tender. Add the rosemary and thyme and cook for 1 minute. Set aside.

2In a 375° F oven, bake the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet for one hour.  When cool enough to handle, cut a small strip off of the top of each potato.  Carefully scoop the insides out into a medium bowl, leaving the skin as a hollow shell.  Next, mash the potatoes with a potato masher.  Add the cheddar cheese, shallot mixture, salt and pepper and stir until well combined.

3Using a spoon, carefully scoop the potato mixture back into the skin shells.  Top each potato with a little parmesan cheese, if desired.  Put the potatoes back on the baking sheet and bake another 15 - 20 minutes.
