Ingredients

• 4 large sweet potatoes
• 1 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup diced green onions
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
2. Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a towel.
3. Using a fork, poke holes all around the sweet potatoes to allow steam to escape while baking.
4. Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and bake them in the preheated oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
5. Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
6. Cut the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh, leaving a thin layer of potato on the skins.
7. Place the sweet potato flesh in a large bowl and mash it with a fork or a potato masher until smooth.
8. Add the crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, diced green onions, sour cream, melted butter, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the mashed sweet potatoes. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly combined.
9. Scoop the sweet potato mixture back into the potato skins, dividing it evenly among them.
10. Place the stuffed sweet potato halves back on the baking sheet and bake them in the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
11. Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
12. Garnish with additional diced green onions, if desired, and serve hot.
