Loaded Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes really only get the spotlight in the fall months, which is sad. Sweet potatoes are really good! And they’re good for you– that is until we load them up with sugar! #noregrets

A loaded sweet potato is a baked sweet potato with some butter, cinnamon, brown sugar, and marshmallows. Are you thinking what I’m thinking? Chef Shamy Cinnamon Brown Sugar Honey Butter to the rescue! It has everything you need: cinnamon, brown sugar, and butter! It’s the perfect combination. And, it’s much easier than trying to cobble together all the separate ingredients– this way, you only need two! Cinnamon Butter and marshmallows!

And the taste is amazing! You’ll love the sweet hint of honey and the punch of cinnamon from the butter, as well as the ooey-gooey marshmallows.

Entrée or Side Dish?

I’ve always struggled with potatoes, whether sweet or otherwise. I never know how to serve them: as an entrée or as a side dish. Sometimes the potatoes are so big that you can’t imagine them as a side dish. But who wants only a potato as your entire meal? In fairness, these are delicious enough to satisfy my taste buds, but still. What do you think? How would you serve your Loaded Sweet Potatoes?

Here’s some tips for baking the perfect sweet potato!
