Jacket sweet potatoes stuffed with Camembert and green onions are a comforting, delicious way to enjoy baked sweet potatoes with cheese.
These soft, velvetyย jacket sweet potatoesย are topped with Camembert and green onions. Although there are only a few ingredients, they pack a lot of flavor.

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.
