Cheesy Loaded Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients for Cheesy Loaded Sweet Potatoes

• 1.4kg sweet potatoes (4 large or 6 small), scrubbed, halved lengthwise

• 45ml extra-virgin olive oil, divided

• 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt

• 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

• 170g shredded Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese

• Soured cream or plain yoghurt, sliced avocado, thinly sliced radishes, thinly sliced spring onions, coriander leaves, Pickled Red Onions, lime wedges, and/or hot sauce (for serving

• optional)

Fill a large pot with 1" water. Place potatoes in a steamer basket and lower into pot. Cover pot and bring to a boil. Steam until potatoes are fork-tender, 25–30 minutes.

Place an oven rack about 8" from grill; preheat grill. Coat a rimmed baking sheet with 1 tablespoon oil. Arrange potatoes skin side down on prepared pan. Score or lightly mash flesh with a fork; season all over with salt and pepper. Drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons oil, then top with cheese (taking care to keep it on the potatoes, not the pan). Grill potatoes, watching carefully to make sure they don’t burn, until cheese is bubbling and golden brown, 3–5 minutes.

Transfer potatoes to a platter. Serve with soured cream, avocado, radishes, spring onions, coriander, pickled onion, lime wedges, and hot sauce for topping alongside, if desired.

Do Ahead: Potatoes can be steamed 5 days ahead. Transfer to an airtight container and chill.
