How to cook deliciously - Twice-Baked Sweet Potatoes

1 . Stage

Preheat oven to 375°. Pat potatoes completely dry with paper towels. Poke potatoes all over with a fork, then rub with oil and sprinkle with salt. Place directly on oven racks and bake until pierced easily with a fork, about 1 hour. Place on a large baking sheet and let cool until cool enough to handle.

2 . Stage

Cut a thin layer off the top of each potato lengthwise. Scoop out insides of each potato, leaving a ½” border. Place insides in large bowl. (You can keep the potato tops and roast them on the tray as a snack!)

3 . Stage

Into the bowl with the potatoes, add milk, sour cream, and butter. Mash until all ingredients are incorporated and mixture is mostly smooth. Fold in 1 cup Monterey Jack, black beans, green onions, and garlic and season with salt.

4 . Stage

Fill baked potatoes with mixture and place on a large baking sheet. Top with remaining ½ cup of Monterey Jack. Bake until cheese is melty and outside is crispy, 15 minutes.

5 . Stage

Top with tomatoes, avocado, jalapeño, and queso fresco before serving.
