Loaded Sweet Potato.

I sure am glad that sweet potato is Paleo friendly. I looooove sweet potato.
But, I also think that too much of it can be too sweet!
This is why I am very grateful for white flesh sweet potatoes- Paleo friendly and not as sweet at all- so they are perrrrrrfect for a baked potato.

I made dinner for my sister and friend Emma last week- Emma requested stuffed sweet potatoes after seeing the ones i previously made. I decided to make them a little differently.
Instead of cutting them in half and making them stuffed skins style, I kept them whole and in baked potato shape.
For the filling I used Turkey mince meat and Chorizo, instead of Chicken pieces. I was very very happy with the results. Especially because I baked a mix of orange & white flesh potatoes which reduced the sweetness. Delicious!





RECIPE:

  • 3 orange flesh Sweet Potatoes
  • 3 white flesh Sweet Potatoes
  • Turkey mince
  • Chopped Chorizo
  • 4 Garlic cloves ~ diced

  • Add Onion ~ 3 mins (until softened)
  • Add Mushroom, seasoning and Chorizo for 3-5 mins
  • Slice sweet Potatoes and scoop out flesh into a bowl
  • Mix the white and orange flesh together
  • Mix/Stir Potatoe and Chorizo/Turkey mix
  • Using 2 tablespoons scoop mix into balls and stuff back into Potatoes
  • (Try and squeeze it all in and close the potato closed again)
  • Place in the oven on 180c for 15-20 mins
