Any recipe that starts with “loaded sweet potato” is a favorite in our house. We make these loaded sweet potato rounds as an appetizer for friends and they always disappear quickly. So we couldn’t resist creating another loaded sweet potato something, especially with football playoffs in swing and the Super Bowl approaching. (How many sports fans do we have out there?)
How to make loaded sweet potato skins
These potatoes take about 1 ½ to 2 hours to prepare, depending on the size of your potatoes, but it’s time well spent when you taste them! The outer skins are a bit crispy, with the insides creamy and bursting with flavor. Keep in mind that nearly 1 hour of the preparation time is hands off while the potatoes are baking, so you can use this time to prepare the other meal components and clean up after yourself. *Update: We also found they reheat perfectly, so making them in advance works well too (see below). We like to make this recipe as a dinner main dish instead of a party appetizer, though it works well either way. Tonight we served the potatoes with cilantro lime quinoa and a salad for a delicious dinner with friends. It’s also a great option for a vegetarian and gluten-free meal, which was exactly what we needed tonight since one friend is gluten intolerant. We hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do. Remember to tag us if you make them and post a pic on Instagram; we love hearing your feedback! (We’re at acouplecooks.)
