Ingredients
  

  • 3 medium sweet potatoes
  • 2 rashers smoked bacon cut up into small pieces and cooked until crisp
  • 3 spring onions thinly sliced
  • 25 g cheddar cheese grated (more if desired)
  • 25 g red leicester cheese grated (more if desired)
  • 1 tbsp milk
  • 6 tsp low fat sour cream
  • 1 tbsp chives

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C / 160°C fan / 350°F / gas 4.
  • Prick each sweet potato with a sharp knife and bake in the oven for 20 minutes or until they are soft.
  • When your sweet potatoes are ready, take them out of the oven and let cool for 5 minutes so that you can handle them.
  • Carefully cut each sweet potato in half. Using a spoon carefully scrape some of the potato out and place into a bowl. Repeat this until you have finished.
  • Add your milk to the scraped out potato and season with salt and pepper. Mash until it is nice and creamy.
  • Divide the mash between the potato skins. Sprinkle the spring onion and cheese all over. Place back in the oven for 5 minutes until the cheese has melted.
  • Take your sweet potato boats out of the oven and sprinkle the bacon all over them, then add a dollop of sour cream and finish with chives.
  • Serve and enjoy with extra helpings of sour cream!
