Crazy awesome sweet potatoes

This recipe is going to sound ridiculous. It’s easy and amazing and totally not what you expect from a sweet potato. I learned it from a friend who had one of those “I’m hungry and my cupboard is a bit bare. Let’s see how these ingredients go together” kind of happy accident dinners.

 

Ingredients:

1 sweet potato

1 dollop of kefir cheese (or cream cheese if you don’t like that kefir kick, weirdo)

1 avocado

a squirt of spicy rooster sauce

a sprinkle of pine nuts

 

Instructions:

Bake the sweet potato in its skin. You can wrap it in foil, put it in a pan, put it on a cookie sheet, whatever makes you happy. I usually wrap it and bake for an hour at 350. You want it to be like a baked potato, nice and squishy. While you wait, toast your pine nuts.

Put your potato on the plate and slice it open along the top. Now the fun begins!

Get a good dollop of your kefir cheese and just plop it on top.

Slice your avocado and pile on all you want (then eat the rest).

Squirt on as much spicy rooster sauce you want (be careful! It’s strong!).

Sprinkle on your pine nuts.

Now you can eat it like Nathan (building each bite individually) or like me (mush it all together like a baked potato).

Like most of my other recipes, I just don’t have the patience to photograph it by the time I’ve finished cooking. Here are 2 pictures that have a similar look, but are totally different (and equally weird sounding). I’ll have to try them too!
