Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to let cool, then crumble 2 slices. Reserve 2 tablespoons bacon fat.

When sweet potatoes are cool enough to handle, make a slit in the top and carefully scoop out flesh into a medium bowl, then transfer potato skins to a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Mash potato flesh until mostly smooth, then add crumbled bacon, reserved bacon fat, ¼ cup brown sugar, and salt and stir to combine.
