Ingredients

4 medium sweet potatoes, scrubbed well 

1/3 heavy cream 

4 tbsp. butter 

1/2 cup Peanut Butter & Co Mighty Maple 

1 tbsp. smoked Spanish paprika 

1/2 tsp. ground cayenne 

kosher salt and black pepper 

Creme fraiche or sour cream 

Minced chives, for garnish 

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Arrange sweet potatoes on a rack and bake 1 hour until tender. Remove from oven and let cool until cool enough to touch.

  2. While potatoes cool, combine heavy cream, butter, peanut butter, paprika, and cayenne in a small saucepan and whisk over medium heat until melted and evenly combined. 

  3. Take cooled potatoes and delicately slice off a ½-inch slice from the top of the potato. Use a spoon to scoop out sweet potato flesh into a large bowl, being careful not to tear the skin. Use a ricer or a fork to break up the potato, then add the cream and peanut butter mixture and mix well until creamy and evenly combined. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. 

  4. Lower heat to 350°F. Grease a baking dish. Scoop the sweet potato puree into each of the potato skins, piling it high and arrange the stuffed potatoes on the prepared baking dish. Return to the oven and bake just until heated through and bubbling, about 15 minutes. (If desired, turn on broiler for final 2-3 minutes to brown the top of the stuffing.) 

  5. Serve hot, topped with crème fraiche or sour cream, and minced chives.
