Spicy, cheesy and smoky re-stuffed sweet potatoes

Yep you heard that right, spicy, cheesy and smoky re-stuffed sweet potatoes. I did you all a favour and took a sweet potato, scooped it out of it's sweet, sexy skin and then mashed it up with a shitload of delicious flavours and then stuck it right back in there. I fucking love a sweet potato and so should you. Fill your boots friends!

TIME: 2 hours MAKES: 2

INGREDIENTS:

2 large sweet potatoes

25g of salted butter

4 spring onions, finely sliced

100g of mature cheddar cheese, grated

50g of gruyere cheese, grated

50g of brie, cubed

1/2 teaspoon of smoked sea salt

1 teaspoon of smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon of hot cayenne pepper

1 teaspoon of maple syrup

1 fresh red chilli, finely choped

1 fresh red chilli, sliced (garnish)

1 bunch of fresh chives, finely chopped

MAKE IT:

1. If you are after that delicious smoky flavour then fire up your BBQ, get the coals nice and hot and throw a small chunk of oak on the coals, a chunk the size of a rubix cube, prick the potatoes and add them to the bbq and then cover the bbq with a lid and let them smoke for 1.5 hours at around 130°C.

2. Pre-heat the oven to 180°C – Once the potatoes have been cooked, slice them in half and scoop out the insides and place into a mixing bowl leaving the skin in-tact. Place the skins on a baking tray and bake in the oven at 180°C for 10 minutes to crisp up.

3. Mash together the sweet potato flesh with all of the ingredients until you reach a creamy consistency.

4. Remove the skins from the oven and fill each skin with the sweet potato mixture.

5. Serve and enjoy!
