INGREDIENTS

3 medium sweet potatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 rashers streaky bacon ; chopped

Servings

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Heat the oven to 200C / Gas mark 6. Halve the sweet potatoes lengthways and brush each cut side with olive oil. Place on a baking tray, cut side up, and roast for about 35 minutes, or until tender.

2. Meanwhile, heat 1tbsp of the olive oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes. Add the spring onions, garlic and chilli and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until softened.

3. When the potatoes are tender, remove from the oven. Carefully scoop out most of the cooked flesh, leaving a shell about 1/2cm thick. Reserve four of the potato shells. Mash the cooked sweet potato flesh with a fork and stir through half the bacon mixture, and all the creme fraîche and chopped chives. Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

4. Divide the mixture between the four shells, sprinkle each with the Cheddar and the remaining bacon mixture, and return to the oven. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and starting to melt, then serve.

NOTES

These can be made up to 12 hours in advance then reheated in an oven for about 10 minutes.
You can use normal large baking potatoes but they'll need about 15 minutes more cooking time in step 1.
