Ingredients
-
4 medium whole sweet potatoes, scrubbed clean
-
1/2 cup sour cream (light or regular)
-
1/4 teaspoon salt, to taste
-
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
-
1/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted (I also like candied nuts)
-
4 teaspoons butter or 4 teaspoons margarine, to taste
-
4 teaspoons brown sugar or 4 teaspoons cinnamon sugar, garnish
-
2 tablespoons real maple syrup
Instructions
- Poke each potato several times with a fork to pierce the skin.
- Set onto a foil lined baking sheet.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375 F for 1 hour or until potatoes are very tender.
- Meanwhile, mix together the sour cream, syrup, salt,& cinnamon.
- When potatoes are ready, slice them open, fluff the middles with a fork a bit, and top with a pat of butter (about 1 tsp or so each), a dollop of the topping, a sprinkling of the nuts, and if desired, a light sprinkling of brown sugar (or just dust with a litle extra cinnamon or cinnamon sugar).
