Amy's Twice Baked Sweet Taters

Ingredients:
2 sweet potatoes
2-3 tbsp ff/light cream cheese
1 tbsp brown sugar
splash of vanilla
1-2 tsp of margarine/butter*
toasted almond slivers or walnuts
salt and pepper to taste

*this can likely be removed if you want, but lets be honest. EVERYTHING tastes better with a little buttah!

Directions:
  1. Cook potatoes in microwave until 90% cooked.
  2. Slice in half and scoop out 'meat'. I like to leave a little border of potato meat in the skin to help it maintain its shape.
  3. Mash potatoes with all the ingredients except the nuts.
  4. Spoon mixture back into the shells
  5. Top with nuts and bake at 400 for 5-10 mins. I bbqed mine, and they also turned out great!
I just kind of invented this recipe, so I apologize for my lack of recipe writing skills! I assure you, they are super tasty and would be a great side dish at Thanksgiving!
