TWICE BAKED SWEET POTATOES

Category: Sweet Potatoes

6 sweet potatoes (medium sized)
3 tbsp vegetable oil
8 ozs softened cream cheese
1/3 cup brown sugar
4 tbsp butter
1 tbsp vanilla extract
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/3 cup chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 400. Rub skins with oil wrap each in foil. Bake for 1 hour, or until soft when poked in the center.

In a large bowl combine cream cheese, brown sugar, butter, vanilla, salt and pepper. Slice each baked potato in half lengthwise and scoop flesh into the creamy mixture. Caution they will be very hot so this works best using a clean towel to hold the potato. Mix well and fold in walnuts. Spoon mixture evenly back into each potato skin and bake for about 10-15 minutes more at 350 just to heat through. Serves 12
