Twice-baked Sweet Potatoes

Yes, you read that right. I never thought of it either, but decided to try it when I saw a recipe in a magazine. As usual, I didn't follow their recipe, but adapted it for my taste. Quantities here are for one potato which is 2 servings.

Ingredients (amounts depend on size of potato and your taste):

• 1 sweet potato
• butter
• sea salt
• black pepper
• bread crumbs

Directions:

1. Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. 
2. Prick the potato skin with a fork or knife in about 5-6 places. 
3. Bake until tender - about one hour. 
4. Cut in half lengthwise and scoop out the insides leaving about 1/4 inch inside with the skins. 
5. Place flesh in a food processor and mix with butter about 2 minutes until smooth. 
6. Add sea salt and pepper to taste. 
7. Spoon into the skins. 
8. Top with bread crumbs and drizzle melted butter over them so they will brown. 
9. Bake about 10 minutes until the topping is golden.

If you like, there are several things you can add to the mixture. I really like the taste of sweet potatoes, so I didn't add anything. Some people may like to add goat cheese, chives, marshmallows, pecans or brown sugar.
