Directions
Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°. Bake whole potatoes until they are tender but not mushy, about 40 minutes. Cool, then halve potatoes lengthwise. With a spoon, scoop the flesh out of the skins, leaving a wall 1/4 inch thick.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the sweet potato flesh, Parmesan, parsley, garlic, oregano, rosemary and pepper. Fill each shell with the sweet potato mixture.

Step 3

Preheat broiler. Place the potato skins on a baking sheet and broil 5 inches from the heat for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Cut each shell in half. Serve hot.
