We first made this side dish for a beef cook-off my sister-in-law enteredâour beef didnât win, but we won best sides! Ingredients:
6 medium sweet potatoes (about 8 ounces each) |
1/2 cup butter, cubed |
1/4 cup packed brown sugar |
1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel |
1 medium apple, chopped |
1/4 cup chopped pecans |
Directions:
1. Scrub potatoes; pierce several times with a fork. Place on a foil-lined 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Bake at 400° for 45-60 minutes or until tender.
2. When cool enough to handle, cut off a thin slice from the top of each potato; discard. Scoop out pulp, leaving 1/4-in. thick shells; transfer to a large bowl. Mash pulp with butter, adding brown sugar and orange peel. Fold in apple and pecans.
3. Spoon into potato shells. Return to baking pan. Bake 15-20 minutes longer or until heated through. Yield: 6 servings.
