Ingredients

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes (1½ pounds)
  • ½ cup shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese
  • 3 scallions, sliced, divided
  • 2 slices cooked bacon, chopped, divided
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
  • 4 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. Prick 2 sweet potatoes all over with a fork. Place on a microwave-safe plate and microwave on High until tender, flipping potatoes halfway, about 12 minutes. When cool enough to handle, slice the potatoes in half lengthwise. Spoon the flesh into a medium bowl. Stir in ½ cup cheese, all but 1 tablespoon of the scallions, half of the chopped bacon, ¼ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper.
  3. Place the potato shells on a rimmed baking sheet. Divide the mixture between the shells. Bake until the cheese is melted and the filling is hot, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and top each half with 1 tablespoon sour cream. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon scallions and the remaining bacon.
