INGREDIENTS

  • Main Ingredients

    • 4 large sweet potatoes
    • 🥓 1 pound thick-cut bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
    • 🧂 2 teaspoons kosher salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
    • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
    • 🥚 1 large egg, beaten
    • 1/2 cup sour cream, plus more for serving
    • 3/4 cup green onions, plus more for serving
    • 🧀 6 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil. Place sweet potatoes on it and prick all over with a sharp knife.

2

Bake sweet potatoes in the oven until tender when pierced with a knife, about 1 hour. Let cool enough to handle.

3

Meanwhile, place bacon in a cold pan over medium-high heat, and cook until fat begins to render. Reduce heat to medium and cook until browned and fully cooked.

4

Scoop sweet potatoes into a mixing bowl, discarding the skin. Mash into desired consistency with a spoon.

5

Add salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, egg, sour cream, green onions, half of the bacon, and two-thirds of cheese. Mix until evenly combined.

6

Spread the mixture evenly into a 2-quart shallow baking dish. Keep surface textured. Top with remaining bacon and cheese.

7

Bake casserole in the oven until the top is browned and edges bubbling, about 30–35 minutes.

8

Serve with additional sour cream and sliced green onions, if desired.
