Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large sweet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup smoked sausage, sliced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes, then pierce each one several times with a fork to allow steam to escape while baking.
Rub the sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until tender when pricked with a fork.
While the sweet potatoes are baking, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the smoked sausage slices and cook until nicely browned. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the sour cream, whole-grain mustard, caraway seeds, salt, and black pepper. Chop the fresh dill and set it aside for garnish.
Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
Slice each sweet potato open lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through. Gently fluff the flesh with a fork and add 1 tablespoon of butter to each potato.
Spoon the sour cream mixture over the fluffed sweet potato flesh, then top with the cooked sausage slices.
Sprinkle each sweet potato with fresh dill for garnish and serve warm.
