Maybe you think this is too much cheese for one potato? No such thing as too much cheese. There are great flavor combinations for this potato, which makes a filling meal for one or two.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

If you prefer a savory sweet potato, these potato skins are for you. They're stuffed with charred red bell peppers, grilled chicken breasts, an assortment of spices, and mozzarella and sharp cheddar cheese. Yum! The teriyaki sauce is a wonderful addition. It adds a nice sweet and salty combination to each bite. These savory sweet potato skins are hearty enough for a meal but could be cut into smaller pieces for an appetizer.
