"This is very similar to how regular white baked potatoes are made, only the insides are seasoned with milk, butter and sweet brown sugar. Fluffy, creamy and oh, so good!"

Excellent! Loved this simple, easy, but wow with taste and ka-pow with delight! I did these exactly as written, except quartering the potato after baking. So..I made good sized "boats" and put the delicious tasting in-ards right into the boat, after mixing them and adding the rest of the ingredients. I topped with a green onion stem - and browned in the oven. Man, these flew off the plate so fast you would of thought these were peas in a freezer bag. Simply a 5 star plus recipe. YUM!

Oh my little sweet potato. What...you say that it's not sweet potato, but 'sweet patooty'? Never mind. Made for Ragin' Cajun-Creole Tag. -
Ah, this recipe is up there among my GREAT FINDS on Zaar. I love sweet potatoes, and having now made - and LOVED - this recipe, my mind is abuzz with other possibilities! I'd never made or even thought of stuffing sweet potatoes. Cannot imagine why not, but I haven't! I tried to keep my ideas for variations in check (and that's always difficult for me) so I made only a few itsy-bitsy changes. I opted for the decadence of sour cream in place of the milk, and added some orange and lemon zest and some cinnamon. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful recipe, DuChick!

I am...
~a mother of 2 kids (19 and 22) who are extremely picky eaters. The mere mention of "healthy" sends them running in the opposite direction. They prefer the creamy, cheesy, fried stuff that they weren't brought up on!
~a wife of a wonderful man who fights an expanding waistline and will lovingly eat most anything I set before him. Everything is 5 stars to him. :) He's the easiest customer a cook could ask for!
~a teacher who tends to reach for comfort foods to relieve stress. I am a middle school reading specialist. The miracles I see on a daily basis keeps me going! But it's also stressful, so keep me away from the cookie jar! I really have to fight off the sugary, fat-laden stuff that has no worth beyond the momentary comfort in my mouth.
~and I'm also a daughter who was brought up on home cooked meals back when calories meant nothing and taste was everything! That is an idea built into my system that's hard to shake! My mother raised 8 kids (I'm #7) on her home-cooking and I always teased her that she didn't raise a single skinny kid! I luckily inherited her great love of cooking and baking. (I miss you Mom!)
~finally, I'm "mom" to the best Bichon in the world. He is Quincy, our kid in a dogsuit. He's 13 years old, but still a puppy to us.
