Twice-Baked Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients

  • 5 medium sweet potatoes (10 oz. each)
  • 1/2 cup cranberry relish
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries or raisins, snipped or chopped
  • 2 Tbsp. butter, softened
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 cup walnut pieces, toasted

2. Cut each potato in half lengthwise. Using a spoon, scoop pulp from each potato half, leaving a 1/4- to 1/2-inch shell. Place pulp in medium bowl. Set aside shells.

3. Using a potato masher or fork, mash potato pulp until smooth. Stir in relish, cranberries, butter, and salt. Spoon potato mixture into each potato shell. Place, filled sides up, in a 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Sprinkle with walnuts.
