Loaded Sweet Potatoes for Chilly Nights | Cup of Jo (2024)

Just made this dish for lunch – so good! Used frozen corn instead of fresh, and overloaded with onions a bit (was making it for just 2 people) but the end result was delicious! Forgot how satisfying and easy roasted sweet potatoes are.. thanks!

I can’t wait to try this. Seems like a perfect recipe for my household since I’m vegetarian (this all sounds great without the chicken) and my boyfriend is a rotisserie chicken junkie.

Oh my gosh this looks heavenly! I’d never thought about spicing sautéed onions that way – I bet they’re delish.

Well now I know a) what’s for dinner tonight and b) how to get my kids to eat the “taco skillet” I made the other day. I gave them chips to scoop up the taco meat/bean/cheese and told them it was a fun dinner, like nachos. They wouldn’t eat it! But they will eat “taco potatoes,” so here we are. Taco sweet potatoes.

Adding this to my list of easy dinners! This week we had baked sweet potatoes topped with rotisserie chicken, BBQ sauce, crumbled bacon, cheddar, and sour cream. A family crowd-pleaser!

I roast a tray of sweet potatoes almost once a week, and have an easy meal ready to go in the fridge at any moment! Mine go 350 degrees for 40 mins. Then I turn off the oven and often forget they exist for a few hours. Results in some delicious easy low prep meals all week. I’ve never tried these flavours though – it’s all going on my grocery list for this evening :)

I eat a ton of sweet potatoes because they’re so healthy, easy and the kiddos love them! They’re definitely lovelier when roasted in the oven, but in a time pinch (read: every week night) I give them a few stabs with a knife, wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave! 8-10 min depending on how large they are and how many I’ve shoved into the microwave at once.

When I was a kid and was going to after school programs I would make pizza potatoes–baked potatoes topped with spaghetti sauce, cheese and any veggies we had on hand. They are still good as a adult.

This looks delicious and so easy! I love sweet potatoes with pork too. I’ve been meaning to try the slow-roasted method for cooking them, as recommended by Chef Michael Solomonov, but I am too impatient. Has anyone tried this, and if so does it make a difference? They bake at 275 for 2 1/2 hours. Here is the full recipe: https://www.saveur.com/slow-roasted-sweet-potatoes-with-garlic-labneh-recipe

Love a loaded sweet potato! We do: sweet italian sausage crumbled and sauteed with arugula, then top it all with goat cheese. So easy and satisfying!

I eat a sweet potato for breakfast everyday- topped with almond butter, blueberries and shredded coconut. Sweet potatoes are a great sub for oatmeal and the toppings are endless!

These potatoes look really good! I’m up for any food that is “loaded.”

oh my gosh, my husband grew up eating “taco potato” and one night, about 2 years in to marriage, he asked if we could make it. huh? i had never heard of it…. now it’s a staple! and you can use almost any toppings.
