Ingredients

1 10-ounce package frozen collard greens or 1 cup cooked collards

4 medium-sized sweet potatoes

6 slices bacon

4 green onions, sliced, including tops

1/2 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

4 tbs butter or margarine, softened

1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup finely grated Swiss cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook the frozen collard greens according to package directions. Drain well.

Arrange sweet potatoes on a baking sheet or in a baking pan and bake until fork-tender, 1 to 1/2 hours. When the sweet potatoes are cool enough to handle, slice each lengthwise, carefully hollow out the inside with a spoon, and place the flesh in a large bowl. Set the potato shells aside.

Fry the bacon until crisp in a large skillet, then transfer to a paper towel to drain, reserving the drippings in the skillet. Add the green onions and collard greens to the bacon fat and saute over medium heat for 2 minutes. Add the greens mixture to the sweet potato flesh in the bowl.

Crumble the bacon and add it to the bowl along with the cream, Parmesan cheese, butter, cayenne pepper, and salt.

Using an electric mixer or hand masher, whip the potato mixture until smooth. Place spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the sweet potato shells, mounding it in the center.

Top the stuffed sweet potatoes with the Swiss cheese. Bake for 20-30 minutes, until the potatoes are heated and the cheese has melted.
