Chef John has great recipes, he also has modern Foodie disease. where every recipe has to have peppers (Chipotle, Jalapeno, Cayenne etc) aka - too much heat massively added to it. There is NO reason for this other than he either has no sense to be able to taste complexity of the ingredients or he thinks every recipe should be given the Taco Bell treatment. I am surprised he doesn't add cayenne pepper to his baked goods and deserts. Oh wait. next month he will come up with a recipe for Jalapeno cheese cake. Adding a massive burning sensation to the mouth of anyone eating your food does not add pleasure or complexity. it just means you ran out of ideas of how to make something original and good, and decided to chuck in heat to make your recipe cool for hipsters with no taste buds. 90 percent of the food made by people cooking on this planet DOES NOT INCLUDE PEPPERS. 80 percent of your stuff does, for no reason at all.

I grew up on syrupy, marshmallow-topped candied sweet potatoes -- usually starting with the canned ones, which made it even worse -- which made me think I hated sweet potatoes. Then I discovered more savory treatments like this, and discovered that I absolutely love them Unfortunately, the rest of my family still prefers the gloppy, syrupy way to make them, so I'm the only one who would enjoy this recipe. But it looks so great to me, I may tell them all to just go eat some dessert, and make them anyway

It's so, so nice to see savory recipes for sweet potatoes. Like many growing up, my only experience with sweet potatoes was the dreaded and thrice-accursed candied sweet potato served at Thanksgiving. Truly, an affront to all the senses. But when I grew up, and started cooking for myself, I got to try my hand at properly making sweet potatoes, and now I love them. Just keep those candied monstrosities away from me.

I just made these, and theyre delicious I will definitely make these again come Thanksgiving - its perfect because you can make these ahead right up to the point of the second bake, and heat them up as the turkey is resting. Also, Ive always disliked that classic marshmallow studded sweet potato casserole thing, and this is basically the antithesis of that. Thanks for another great recipe, Chef John.

Could you freeze these to reheat later? I've found it's easy enough to put steaks and chicken in freezer bags, zip up all but the last inch, vacuum out the air with my dust buster, and zip it shut before tossing it in the freezer. How do you reheat a frozen baked potato? This freezing method also works great for cooked dinner rolls. Just break them up into individual rolls first.

These look so delicious just as they are but do you have any suggestions what I can replace the bacon with in one of them for the vegetarian in my family? I think it is the salty savoury taste of the bacon that is a key part of these so I'm struggling to decide what would be a good alternative ingredient. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. Thanks

Chef John as much as your commentary is always worth the price of admission, my partner & I have invented a game where we go to a crowded pub or restaurant and watch your videos with the sound off and guess what you're doing to do next. Ie. When you're going to add cayenne/cheese for browning etc. Thank you for rescuing our relationship.

I have been meaning to try these and today I finally made this recipe. They turned out delicious. You'd think the sweetness wouldn't mingle, but it mellows with the bacon, cheese, and pepper. I served it with grilled pork chops with a soy maple sauce and the wife loved it. Big hit

I have to agree, most sweet potato recipes are way to sweet, then that horrible thing when the melt marshmallow and brown sugar, UGHH. Savory sweet potatoes are a treasure, and I'm gonna give yours a shot. Never had a recipe with lime juice, that I'm really looking forward to.
