Ingredients
- 2 sweet potatoes (scrubbed)
- 1 ½ Tbsp unsalted butter, plus 3 Tbsp extra
- ½ small onion (finely chopped)
- 1 tsp chopped thyme leaves, plus extra sprigs
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup taleggio or fontina cheese (chopped)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400.
- Bake the sweet potatoes until tender, about 45-60 minutes. Remove from oven and cool slightly.
- Melt 1 ½ Tbsp butter in a small frying pan over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until soft, about 2 minutes.
- Add chopped thyme and cook 1 minute more. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise. Spoon out the flesh, leaving a ¾ inch shell of flesh and skin. Place the halves on a baking sheet.
- Combine the scooped out potato flesh with the remaining 3 Tbsp butter, the onion, egg and taleggio in a bowl and mash until smooth. Season with salt.
- Pile the mixture back into the sweet potato shells, scatter with thyme sprigs, and bake 20-30 minutes, or until golden.
