Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes with Bacon and Chives

Heat oven to 400ºF. Line a baking sheet with foil. Poke sweet potatoes all over with a fork, then place on prepared baking sheet. Bake sweet potatoes 1 hour until soft and baked through. Set aside until cool enough to handle.

Cut cooled sweet potatoes in half lengthwise, then use a spoon to scoop out pulp, leaving a ¼-inch wall. Transfer pulp to a large bowl, and return sweet potato shells to baking sheet. Crumble 4 slices cooked bacon and add to bowl. Add sour cream and 1 tablespoon chopped chives. Stir to combine.

Spoon filling into shells. Sprinkle tops with shredded cheese. Bake at 400ºF for 5–10 minutes until cheese is melted. Top with remaining 2 slices bacon, crumbled, and remaining 1 tablespoon chopped chives.
