    Recipe Introduction

    One of the most popular ways to serve sweet potatoes is simply to bake them. When stuffed with low-fat condiments, baked sweet potatoes offer a powerhouse of nutrition without a lot of extra calories.

    List of Ingredients










    1 medium sweet potato, about 8 ounces
    3 tablespoons light sour cream
    2 tablespoons marshmallow creme
    1 tablespoon sweetened flaked coconut
    1 tablespoon chopped pecans
    4 teaspoons drained crushed pineapple
    4 dried apricot halves, chopped





    Recipe

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Wash the sweet potato, pat dry and pierce in several places with a fork. Bake for 45-50 minutes or microwave for 5-7 minutes, or until tender when pricked with a fork. Let cool slightly.

    Combine the remaining ingredients in a bowl; blend well. Working lengthwise, slice sweet
    potato in half. Use a spoon to scoop out all but 1/4 inch of the flesh from each half. Place the scooped-out potato in a bowl, mash lightly with a fork; add about one-half of the ambrosia mixture to the mashed sweet potato; blend well. Spoon this mixture back into the potato skins and top each with the remaining ambrosia.
    Makes 2 servings.
