Sweet potatoes cooked until tender; then mixed with dried cranberries, goat cheese, cinnamon, butter, brown sugar and baked again.

Twice baked sweet potatoes like this one with dried sweet cranberries and crumbled goat cheese is a tasty side dish alternative to holiday meals.

They add a unique flavor and color to your dining table; which complements the main meal. Using the perfect blend of sweetness, tanginess, and creaminess, these sweet potatoes will take your holiday meal to a whole new level.

I cooked the potatoes in the microwave instead of baking them first to shorten the time, but you can bake them in the oven as well. These sweet potatoes were sweet and creamy and savory all rolled into one. ~Enjoy!

How do you make Cranberry Goat Cheese Stuffed Sweet Potatoes?

Start by washing the potato skins by running under warm water and scrub using a vegetable brush.

Place the potatoes on a microwave-safe plate lined with paper towels and cook 10-15 minutes; depending on the size.

Flip the potatoes over halfway through cooking or until the potato has softened. The potatoes are done when you can insert the tip of a small knife and it slides in and out easily.

Remove the potatoes from the microwave and carefully cut them in half lengthwise; then scoop out the inside of the potato and place in a bowl. Place the skin shells in an oven safe baking dish or baking sheet.

Add the goat cheese, cinnamon, butter, milk and sugar to the potatoes and mash; then fold in the dried cranberries. I like to use an electric mixer so they're creamy and smooth, but you can use a hand held potato masher if you prefer.

Place the potato mixture back into the potato skin shells and bake in a preheated 350 degree F oven for 15 minutes. If you'd like, you can garnish with additional goat cheese crumbles and dried cranberries.

Prepare Ahead

You can also prepare these Cranberry Goat Cheese Sweet Potatoes the night before; then bake when you're ready to serve. Allow them to come to room temperature before baking or add additional time so the stuffed potato is hot when serving.
