Sweet Potato Skins

1. 1

2. 2

   Let cool completely.

3. 3

   (The potatoes can be baked, cooled and refrigerated a day ahead.)

4. 4

   Split each in half lengthwise, and scoop out most of the flesh, leaving about a 1/4-inch border all around.

5. 5

   (Save the scooped-out flesh for making mashed sweet potatoes later.)

   Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Put a rack on a rimmed baking sheet.

7. 7

   Arrange the potato skins skin-side up on the rack, and brush with 2 tablespoons of the oil.

8. 8

   Bake until the skins are slightly browned, 20 to 30 minutes.

9. 9

   Let cool completely, then cut each in half crosswise.

10. 10

    Arrange the pieces skin-side down on the rack, and sprinkle each with mozzarella, Parmesan and scallions.

11. 11

    Bake until the mozzarella melts, 8 to 10 minutes.

    Remove the potato skins from the oven, and drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of oil.
