Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 200C, 400F, gas mark 6.

2. 2

   Prick the skins of the sweet potatoes all over with a fork, place on a baking tray (they will ooze a sticky syrup whilst cooking) and bake in the oven for about 45 minutes or until tender.

3. 3

   While the potatoes are baking, mix together the cream cheese, egg yolk, chilli powder, spring onions and seasoning in a bowl; towards the end of the cooking time, preheat the grill to hot.

4. 4

   When baked, cut the sweet potatoes in half lengthways and, keeping the skins intact, scoop the flesh from the sweet potatoes and add to the cream cheese mixture.

5. 5

   Stir all the ingredients together, then stuff the mixture back into the skins.

6. 6

   Dot the tops with butter, sprinkle with extra chilli powder then brown potatoes under the hot grill; serve immediately.
