Jacket sweet potatoes stuffed with Camembert and green onions, a comforting, delicious way of enjoying baked sweet potatoes with cheese.
Cheesy Sweet Potatoes
Soft, velvety, jacket sweet potatoes topped with Camembert and green onions. Only a few ingredients, but so much flavor.
These cheesy sweet potatoes are so nice, soft and creamy, you will just love that melting cheese on top and the crunch and freshness that the green onions bring.
If you don't care about the potatoes having to be baked for about 45 minutes, than this is also a dish that won't give you a lot to do either.
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 and you have a delicious and healthy meal in front of you.
How to bake sweet potatoes?
- Preheat the oven. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Make sure that the sweet potatoes have a similar size so that they are ready at the same time.
- Wash and dry them very well.
- Prick them all over with a fork.
- Rub them with the olive oil and sprinkle them with salt and pepper.
- Bake for about 40-45 minutes or until cooked through, the baking time really depends on their size, so make sure to check, they should be very soft when done.
How to make cheese jacket potatoes?
- Carefully, split the baked sweet potatoes lengthwise in the middle. Keep in mind that they are very hot!
- Scoop out some of the flesh, as much of it as possible without breaking the skin of the potatoes.
- Mix the potato flesh with the butter and half of the green onions and stuff it back in the potatoes. Arrange the cheese slices on top, sprinkle with some more freshly ground black pepper.
- Return to the baking tray and oven and bake for another 5 minutes or until the Camembert starts to melt.
How to serve?
- The jacket sweet potatoes should be served immediately.
- Possible sides are a green salad with yogurt dressing, cucumber salad with vinaigrette, a simple white cabbage salad, roasted vegetables like broccoli or Brussels sprouts.

Anca says
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
Adina says
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.

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...
