DOUBLE BAKED SWEET POTATOES  

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*  

INGREDIENTS:  
6 sweet potatoes (medium sized)  
3 tablespoons vegetable oil  
8 ounces softened cream cheese  
1/3 cup brown sugar  
4 tablespoons butter  
1 tablespoon vanilla extract  
3/4 teaspoon salt  
1/2 teaspoon pepper  
1/3 cup chopped walnuts  

DIRECTIONS:  
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Rub skins with oil wrap each  
in aluminum foil. Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour, or  
until soft when poked in the center. In a large bowl combine  
cream cheese, brown sugar, butter, vanilla, salt and pepper.  
Slice each baked potato in half lengthwise and scoop flesh  
into the creamy mixture. Caution they will be very hot so  
this works best using a clean towel to hold the potato.  
Mix well and fold in walnuts. Spoon mixture evenly back  
into each potato skin and bake for about 10-15 minutes more  
at 350 degrees just to heat through.  

Yield: 12 Servings
