Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 small sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ⅔ cup chopped walnuts
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
Dairy and Sweet Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 3–4 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
Spices and Seasonings:
- ½ tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare sweet potatoes by puncturing their skin with a fork to facilitate steam release during roasting. Position them on a spacious baking sheet and roast until tender and soft, approximately 20-45 minutes depending on their size.
- After roasting, allow potatoes to cool briefly. Slice each potato longitudinally and delicately extract the interior flesh, preserving the skin’s structural integrity.
- Transfer extracted potato flesh into a mixing vessel. Thoroughly pulverize until achieving a silky, uniform consistency. Incorporate Greek yogurt, pumpkin pie spice, maple syrup, and brown sugar, seasoning with a subtle salt accent. Blend ingredients until completely harmonized.
- Meticulously redistribute the whipped potato mixture back into the original potato casings, ensuring even allocation across all skins.
- Craft a complementary topping by amalgamating chopped walnuts, melted butter, and light brown sugar in a separate mixing bowl. Generously disperse this nutty mixture atop the refilled potato shells.
- Reintroduce the potato vessels into the oven, maintaining the 400°F temperature. Roast for an additional 12-15 minutes until the topping transforms into a golden, caramelized crust.
- Elevate the dish’s indulgence by drizzling additional maple syrup before presenting. Serve piping hot and anticipate rapid consumption.
Notes
- Walnuts transform this classic sweet potato dish into a decadent, nutty experience with caramelized sugary crunch.
- Maple syrup drizzled over the top adds a luxurious golden sweetness that perfectly complements the creamy potato filling.
- Twice-baking technique ensures a crispy exterior while maintaining a silky, smooth interior that melts in your mouth.
