This is basically cream cheese frosting mixed with sweet potatoes... it was REALLY rich. Too rich for my family. It tastes more like a pie than a dinner side. And the taste is ok, but it's not that great. It masks the taste of the sweet potato, which is unfortunate. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

SO good! I didn't add any oil and put quite a bunch of brown sugar in them. Delectable. Thank you for this recipe, I will be using it again! Although not everyone has quite as much of a sweet tooth as I do, so I'll have to add less sugar. :)

Yum! My whole family loved this one. My grown son says, "This is a keeper!" He insists I save the recipe for him. I don't think I changed up the recipe much except I used less brown sugar and vanilla. I didn't add any cinnamon because I feel it covers up the flavor of the potato too much.

I loved these!! I made them with my Christmas Eve dinner. I had a hard time putting the mixture back into the skin but I think that was because of the way I had cut them off. I did add a little cinnamon to the mixture. Loved it! Thanks for sharing!

This is a great and simple recipe. I forgot the nuts, and scooped to much flesh from the skins. It still was delicious in a casserole dish.

This was great! I didn't baked the potatos I boiled them and then mashed the flesh and put it in a dish and topped with marshmallows. Very yummy the cream cheese added a nice texture and taste.

I made these for our Thanksgiving dinner and got rave reviews from my family! Easy to make and they taste great. They also freeze well to make an easy addition to a weekend meal.

I made this recipe for Thanksgiving. I followed the recipe except for the oiling of the skins (based on reviews, didn't seem to add anything but work) I found the flavor to be good, however filling was mushier than what I was looking for. I think it is due to the soft nature of the sweet potato. None the less they were all eaten and got good reviews.

In the midst of Thanksgiving preparation, I forgot to add the brown sugar; however, before I popped them in the oven, I sprinkled brown sugar on the tops. My sister, who dislikes sweet potatoes, loved them. I thought that the vanilla was a bit overpowering, but maybe it would have been offset with the brown sugar. Overall, good recipe... maybe next time I will decrease the amount of vanilla.

Really nice flavor. I made mashed the potatoes, skipped the sugar & nuts entirely, and halved the vanilla based on complaints that it was too strong.

I loved this recipe. My husband said that there was too much cream cheese, but I disagree. It's very kid-friendly, too! Definitely a hit with everyone I've served it to!

We liked these real well except they were a little hot, especially for the kiddos (and, I'm a Cajun who usually likes hot!). Will make again, but without the red pepper.

I definitely didn't succeed at stuffing the skins, they were too soft, but I made a nice sweet potato casserole on a bed of potato skins... I added a little extra spice to it--some cinnamon, nutmeg, a touch of cayenne (it was really great with just that hint of a bite to it). I also used about 1/2 the vanilla called for, and it was still a really strong flavor--but I use high quality real vanilla extract, not imitation, so that's not incredibly surprising. The texture of this is fantastic--the cream cheese really makes it.

After baking the potatoes I ended up just scooping out all of the potato and putting the filling into idividual souffle dishes sprinkling with cinnamon then baking. A little swwet for my tastes, but my husband love it!

Very good. Because many of my family do not like sweet potatoes, I chose to freeze them in cup cake pans/with liners. I can just stick one in the microwave in a custard cup or ramekin.

These were very good. I will make them again. I cut the potatoes in half length wise and baked on cut side down on a foil lined baking sheet for 30 mins. I also used pecans instead of walnuts and added cinnamon and more brown sugar.

Lost my recipe very similar to this one so will post this to my recipe box. The other recipe did not have the oil or foil step but essentially the same otherwise. The recipe as written a definite 5. I had to sub SPLENDA sugars and imitation honey for diabetic hubby and have subbed pecans or macadamias when walnuts not available. Being a lazy cook, I microwave the sweet potatoes and then follow the recipe from there.
