Amount Ingredient
4 med sweet potatoes
2 lrg bell peppers
(1 red and 1 yellow or orange)
4 tbl unsalted butter or margarine
1/8 tsp ground cumin or more to taste
Salt to taste
1/2 cup Pepper Jack cheese - (6 oz)
1 cup sour cream
2 tbl freshly-squeezed lime juice or more to taste
2 tbl minced white onions
Instructions:
Instructions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line large baking pan with aluminum foil.

Prick sweet potatoes and place in prepared pan. Bake for about 1 1/2 hours or until soft in center. Remove from oven, but leave oven on.

Meanwhile, seed and dice peppers and set aside. Cut potatoes in half lengthwise; alternatively, make slit down center but not through skin, leaving thin wall of flesh to retain shape. Scoop out flesh from potato, either half or whole. Place jackets back on baking sheet.

Using fork, mash potato flesh, leaving it chunky, with butter, cumin and salt to taste. Scoop mixture back into potato jackets, distributing mixture evenly. Sprinkle stuffed potatoes with cheese and peppers, reserving some peppers for final garnish. Bake in oven until cheese melts.

Meanwhile, mix sour cream with lime juice and set aside. Garnish with remaining peppers, onions, fresh coriander and lime-flavored sour cream. Serve hot.

This recipe yields 4 servings.

Wine Suggestions:
This recipe mostly calls for Chardonnay, but the high presence of lime and fresh coriander might pose a conflict, so go for one that is leaner rather than one that is full-bodied and woody. Try Chablis A.O.C. Corine Perchaud.

Comments: These can be entrees or side dishes. For a variation, roast, seed and peel peppers.
