Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes
I ran across this recipe in the Nov. 2006 BHG magazine and thought it might be of interest here. I love sweet potatoes, usually plain, but this did sound different enough to catch my attention.

Recipe

Twice-Baked Sweet Potatoes

Prep: 20 minutes
Bake: 1 hour, 40 minutes
Cool: 30 minutes
Stand: 30 minutes

5 medium sweet potatoes (10 oz. each)
1/2 cup cranberry relish
1/2 cup dried cranberries or raisins, snipped or chopped
2 Tbsp. butter, softened
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup walnut pieces, toasted

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Scrub sweet potatoes and pierce all over with fork. Place on oven rack. Bake for 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours or until tender. Set aside to cool slightly.

2. Cut each potato in half lengthwise. Using a spoon, scoop pulp from each potato half, leaving a 1/4- to 1/2-inch shell. Place pulp in medium bowl. Set aside shells.

3. Using a potato masher or fork, mash potato pulp until smooth. Stir in relish, cranberries, butter, and salt. Spoon potato mixture into each potato shell. Place, filled sides up, in a 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Sprinkle with walnuts.

4. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes or until heated through. Makes 10 servings.

Test Kitchen Tip: To make ahead, place stuffed potato shells in baking pan. Cover and chill up to 24 hours. To serve: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake, uncovered, for 30 to 35 minutes or until heated through.
