Loaded Baked Sweet Potato

Do you love sweet potatoes? I know when i go out to dinner I love to order baked sweet potatoes as my side dish. I love it even more when I can get my potato loaded with all that creamy goodness!

Sweet potatoes were on sale a few weeks ago at Kroger so I stocked up on them and decided to make my own Loaded Baked Sweet Potato. My husband and I thought they were incredibly delicious. I served these scrumptious potatoes along side Crockpot Honey Rosemary Chicken.

This Loaded Baked Sweet Potato is the perfect side dish to any meal!

7. Turn oven down to 350 degrees and continue to bake for 1 hour.
8. Pull potatoes out of the oven and using a oven mitt, carefully slice the top of the potato and push on both ends to open the potato, repeat on the other potato.

10. Next put 1 Tbsp butter on top of the brown sugar.
11. Divide the marshmallows between the two potatoes and place the baking sheet back in the oven.
