Sweet Potato No-Skins

SWEET POTATO NO-SKINS

You’ll likely fool your children and spouse into thinking these are regular white potatoes if you purchase light-skinned sweet potatoes. Both versions taste delicious, but if you use the darker sweet potatoes, you might need to increase the cooking time a minute or two.

Ingredients
  

  • 16 oz Light-Skinned Sweet Potatoes Thick & Round Potatoes
  • 1 tsp Olive Oil
  • ⅛ tsp Sea Salt
  • ⅛ tsp Garlic Powder
  • ⅛ tsp Garlic Powder
  • 2 02 Low-Fat Shreddded Cheese All Natural (I used Cabot’s 75% Reduced Fat Sharp Cheddar Cheese)
  • 4 tsp Bacon Bits All Natural (I used Wellshire All-Natural Fully Cooked Salt-Cured Bacon Bits)
  • 4 tsb Chopped Scallions Finely Chopped
  • 2 tbsp Fat-Free Greek Yogurt Optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with nonstick foil.
    In a large glass or plastic mixing bowl, toss the potatoes and oil together until the potatoes are well coated.
    Place the potato rounds in a single layer on the prepared pan so they do not touch. Sprinkle the salt, garlic powder, and cayenne evenly over the top of the potatoes. Bake them for 10 minutes. Flip them and bake for 7 to 9 minutes longer, or until they are tender inside and starting to brown lightly on the outside.
    Push the potato rounds together so that they touch and you can easily top them in a single, even layer. First place the Cheddar, then the bacon bits, and then the scallions over the rounds. Bake for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Serve immediately with 1⁄2 teaspoon of the yogurt on top of each, if desired.
