Jacket sweet potatoes stuffed with Camembert and green onions are a comforting, delicious way to enjoy baked sweet potatoes with cheese.
These soft, velvety jacket sweet potatoes are topped with Camembert and green onions. Although there are only a few ingredients, they pack a lot of flavor.
These cheesy sweet potatoes are so soft and creamy. You will love the melting cheese on top and the crunch and freshness of the green onions.
If you don't care about the potatoes being baked for about 45 minutes, this dish also offers little to do. Just clean and prick the potatoes, slice the cheese and the green onions, and you're done. Everything else takes place in the oven.
One quick green salad with yogurt dressing or vinaigrette, and you have a delicious and healthy meal.

Kathryn @ Family Food on the Table says
Don't give up on those kiddos - they are bound to like sweet potatoes eventually! My 4 1/2 year old is just now coming around to them. (She liked them as a baby then didn't touch them much for a few years.) My 2 1/2 year old has been a huge fan since birth. He will eat as many roasted sweet potatoes as I can give him. And I am a HUGE fan of any potato, any which way. Know I will love this version - what a great combination of flavors!
Adina says
Thank you, Kathryn. I do hope that if I put sweet potatoes on the table on a regular basis, they will eventually get used to the idea and the taste and start like them someday...

Hmm, the sweet potatoes look delicious. I like them too, although my husband is not that keen on them.
I can't wait to see what Easter recipes you are going to share. I'm curious how much they will differ from the ones I know. x

I think the main idea for these recipes is the same, but every woman has its own interpretation of them! I hope you like the way my grandma cooked these recipes.
