Thank goodness fall is here! I couldn’t wait any longer to share these delectable beauties with you all.

Ingredients:

• 2-3 Sweet Potatoes
• Your favorite mashed sweet potato mix ins

• Pecans and Maple Syrup

Directions:

To make them, cut off the ends of cleaned sweet potatoes, then cut into 2″ chunks. Brush with oil and bake for 45 minutes at 425°F on a Large Bar Pan until tender. Once cooled, use the Scoop Loop™ or the loop end of the Core & More to remove insides (use these to make mashed potatoes). Leave enough flesh around the skin so it creates a sturdy cup. Fill with your favorite mashed sweet potato recipe and bake until the filling is hot. Drizzle with maple syrup and add your pecan as the finishing touch!
