A healthy twist on an old classic, I am in love with this recipe. This is a dinner side dish hit every time and it's really easy to make.
Here's what you'll need:
Two medium to large sweet potatoes (look for potatoes with a hearty skin)
2 tablespoons of sour cream or Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
1/4 cup mozzarella cheese
pinch of sea salt
pinch of chives
Here's what to do:
1) Rinse your potatoes, prick with a fork and place them in an oven preheated to 375 degrees. You're going to have to check on them, but it should take about an hour for them to become soft to the touch.
2) Remove your potatoes from the oven and set them out on a flat surface to cool. Once cool enough to handle, slice your potatoes in half and allow the potato to slip out of its skin into a bowl.
3) Mash the potatoes and add the cheese, salt, lemon pepper, garlic and sour cream or yogurt.
4) Return the mashed mixture to the potato skin halves, place on a baking tray, sprinkle with chives and return to the oven for 15 minutes.
Prepare yourself to receive some fabulous compliments!
